Pretreatment with licochalcone a enhances therapeutic activity of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in animal models of colitis.

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.
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
objectivesColitis has a high prevalence rate, limited treatment options, and needs to be solved urgently. Application of Licochacone A (LA) or rBMMSCs alone in the treatment of colitis has a certain but limited effect. This study aims to develop an LA-based strategy to improve mesenchymal stem cells' (MSCs') therapeutic capacity in mice DSS-induced colitis by increasing the number of MSCs migrating to the inflammation site. MATERIALS AND
methods
resultsThe mice that received LA- pretreated MSCs had ameliorated body weight loss, preserved colon morphology, and decreased DAI and histological activity index (HAI) compared with the MSCs group. Besides, the number of MSCs migrating to the inflammation site significantly increased in group LA+MSCs, and expression of CXCR4 significantly increased too. Furthermore, we found that LA could partly revise the decrease of the migration of MSCs and the expression of CXCR4 mRNA caused by CXCR4-siRNA.
conclusionLA may improve the migration ability of MSCs through increasing CXCR4 expression therapy enhancing their therapeutic activity.
