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

backgroundMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have therapeutic potential for atopic dermatitis (AD) owing to their immunoregulatory effects. However, the underlying mechanisms associated with the therapeutic efficacy of MSCs on AD are diverse and related to both cell type and delivery method.

objectivesThis study investigated the therapeutic effect and mechanisms of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) on AD using an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced AD mouse model.

methodsAD mice were subcutaneously injected with mouse ADSCs, cortisone, or PBS, and the therapeutic effects were determined by gross and histological examinations and serum IgE levels. Additionally, qPCR, RNA-sequencing analyses of skin samples and co-culture of ADSCs and Th17 cells were conducted to explore the underlying therapeutic mechanisms.

resultsADSCs treatment attenuated the AD pathology, decreased the serum IgE levels, and decreased mast cells infiltration in the skin of the model mice. Moreover, tissue levels of IL-4R and Th17-relevant products (IL-17A, CCL20, and MMP12) were suppressed in the ADSC- and cortisone-treated groups. Genomics and bioinformatics analyses demonstrated significant enrichment of inflammation-related pathways in the downregulated genes of the ADSC- and cortisone-treated groups, specifically the IL-17 signaling pathway. Co-culture experiments revealed that ADSCs significantly suppressed the proliferation of Th17 cells and the expression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-17A and RORγT). Furthermore, expression levels of PD-L1, TGF-β, and PGE2 were significantly upregulated in co-cultured ADSCs relative to those in monocultured ADSCs.

conclusionADSCs ameliorate OVA-induced AD in mice mainly by downregulating IL-17 secretion of Th17 cells.
