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

Critical limb ischemia (CLI), an end-stage manifestation of peripheral artery disease (PAD), still lacks effective therapeutic strategies. Recently, dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DP-MSCs) have been attracting more and more attentions in therapeutic applications due to their high proliferation ability, powerful osteogenic differentiation potential, and effective anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we compared the therapeutic effects of MSCs derived from different sources in a femoral artery-ligated preclinical ischemic model. We found that treatments with MSCs, including bone marrow- (BM-), adipose- (AD-), dental pulp- (DP-), and umbilical cord- (UC-) derived MSCs, improved limb functions, reduced inflammatory responses, increased angiogenesis, and promoted regeneration of muscle fiber. Among them, DP-MSCs and BM-MSCs produced much more impressive effects in restoring limb functions and promoting angiogenesis. The flow velocity restored to nearly 20% of the normal level at 3 weeks after treatments with DP-MSCs and BM-MSCs, and obvious capillary proliferation and collateral development could be observed. Although neovascularization was induced in the ischemic limb after ligation, MSCs, especially DP-MSCs, significantly enhanced the angiogenesis.
