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

Nucleofection (NF) is a safe, non-viral transfection method, compatible with Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines. Such a technique is useful to improve therapeutic effectiveness of adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (ASC) in clinical settings, but improvement of NF efficiency is mandatory. Supernatant rich in growth factors (SRGF) is a clinical-grade medium additive for ASC expansion. We showed a dramatically increased NF efficiency and post-transfection viability in ASC expanded in presence of SRGF (vs. fetal bovine serum). SRGF expanded ASC were characterized by increased vesicle endocytosis but lower phagocytosis properties. SRGF increased n-6/n-3 ratio, reduced membrane lipid raft occurrence, and lowered intracellular actin content in ASC. A statistical correlation between NF efficiency and lipid raft availability on cell membranes was shown, even though a direct relationship could not be demonstrated: attempts to selectively modulate lipid rafts levels were, in fact, limited by technical constraints. In conclusion, we reported for the first time that tuning clinical-grade compatible cell culture conditions can significantly improve ASC transfection efficiency by a non-viral and safe approach. A deep mechanistic characterization is extremely complex, but we can hypothesize that integrated changes in membrane structure and intracellular actin content could contribute to explain SRGF impact on ASC NF efficiency.
