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

Preparation of human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) suspension for lymphedema treatment relies on conventional enzymatic digestion methods, which severely disrupts cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) connections, and drastically impairs cell retention and engraftment after transplantation. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the ability of hMSC-secreted ECM to augment lymphangiogenesis by using an in vitro coculturing model of hMSC sheets with lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and an in vivo mouse tail lymphedema model. Results demonstrate that the hMSC-secreted ECM augments the formation of lymphatic capillary-like structure by a factor of 1.2-3.6 relative to the hMSC control group, by serving as a prolymphangiogenic growth factor reservoir and facilitating cell regenerative activities. hMSC-derived ECM enhances MMP-2 mediated matrix remodeling, increases the synthesis of collagen IV and laminin, and promotes lymphatic microvessel-like structure formation. The injection of rat MSC sheet fragments into a mouse tail lymphedema model confirms the benefits of the hMSC-derived ECM by stimulating lymphangiogenesis and wound closure.
