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

Human post-partum tissue mesenchymal stromal cells (hPPT-MSCs) are widely used in research to investigate their differentiation capabilities and therapeutic effects as potential agents in cell-based therapy. This is ascribed to the advantages offered by the use of MSCs isolated from hPPT over other MSC sources. A paradigm shift in related research is evident that focuses on the secretome of the human MSCs (hMSCs), as therapeutic effects of hMSCs are attributed more so to their secreted growth factors, cytokines and chemokines and to the extracellular vesicles (EVs), all of which are components of the hMSC secretome. Positive therapeutic effects of the hPPT-MSC secretome have been demonstrated in diseases related to skin, kidney, heart, nervous system, cartilage and bones, that have aided fast recovery by replacing damaged, non-functional tissues, via differentiating and regenerating cells. Although certain limitations such as short half -life of the secretome components and irregular secreting patterns exist in secretome therapy, these issues are successfully addressed with the use of cutting-edge technologies such as genome editing and recombinant cytokine treatment. If the current limitations can be successfully overcome, the hPPT-MSC secretome including its EVs may be developed into a cost-effective therapeutic agent amenable to be used against a wide range of diseases/disorders.
