1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The success rate of grafting using acellular dermal matrix (ADM) for chronic tympanic membrane was reported in previous studies to be lower than fascia or perichondrium. Combining mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and growth factor-loaded ADM for the regeneration of chronic TMP has not been reported so far. In this study, we hypothesized that combining growth factor-loaded ADM/MSCs could promote the recruitment of MSCs and assist in TMP regeneration. We evaluated the regeneration and compared the performance of four scaffolds in both in vitro and in vivo studies. MTT, qPCR, and immunoblotting were performed with MSCs. In vivo study was conducted in 4 groups (control; ADM only, ADM/MSC, ADM/MSC/bFGF, ADM/MSC/EGF) of rats and inferences were made by otoendoscopy and histological changes. Attachment of MSCs on ADM was observed by confocal microscopy. Proliferation rate increased with time in all treated cells. Regeneration-related gene expression in the treated groups was higher. Also, graft success rate was significantly higher in ADM/MSC/EGF group than other groups. Significant relationships were disclosed in neodrum thickness between each group. The results suggest, in future, combining EGF with ADM/MSCs could possibly be used as an outpatient treatment, without the need for surgery for eardrum regeneration.
