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

The potential value of mesenchymal stromal/stem cell therapy in treating skin fibrosis in scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) and of the caveolin-1 scaffolding domain peptide in treating lung, skin, and heart fibrosis is known. To understand how these observations may relate to differences between mesenchymal stromal/stem cells from healthy subjects and subjects with fibrosis, we have characterized the fibrogenic and adipogenic potential of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells from systemic sclerosis patients, from mice with fibrotic lung and skin disease induced by systemic bleomycin treatment, and from healthy controls. Early passage systemic sclerosis adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells have a profibrotic/anti-adipogenic phenotype compared to healthy adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (low caveolin-1, high α-smooth muscle actin, high HSP47, low pAKT, low capacity for adipogenic differentiation). This phenotype is mimicked by treating healthy adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells with transforming growth factor beta or caveolin-1 small interfering RNA and is reversed in systemic sclerosis adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells by treatment with caveolin-1 scaffolding domain peptide, but not scrambled caveolin-1 scaffolding domain peptide. Similar results were obtained with adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells from systemic sclerosis patients and from bleomycin-treated mice, indicating the central role of caveolin-1 in mesenchymal stromal/stem cell differentiation in fibrotic disease.
