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

backgroundThe immunomodulatory properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have made them a prospective treatment option for inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Recent studies have found an association between the immunomodulatory function of MSCs and Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Here, we investigated the effect of priming with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as TLR4 ligand or polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) as TLR3 ligand on the immunomodulatory function of adipose-derived MSCs (ADMSCs) in vitro and for the first time in an adjuvant-induced arthritis model (AIA).

methodsADMSCs were treated with LPS or poly I:C for 1 h. Splenocyte proliferation in the presence of primed ADMSCs was assessed in vitro using an MTT assay. Next, we investigated the therapeutic effect of primed ADMSCs in vivo. Male Wistar rats were infused with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) to develop arthritis and then intraperitoneally treated with not-primed, poly I:C- or LPS-primed ADMSCs. Clinical signs, histopathological alteration, and serum and spleen cytokine levels were analyzed.

resultsPoly I:C-primed ADMSCs significantly reduced splenocytes proliferation, while ADMSCs primed with LPS increased splenocytes proliferation. Furthermore, poly I:C-primed ADMSCs significantly alleviated the clinical and histopathological severity and the secretion of inflammatory cytokines associated with Th17/Th1 such as IL-17 and IFN-γ. Poly I:C-primed ADMSCs also increased cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β. TNF-α and IL-6 Levels were also markedly diminished in the serum of AIA animals treated with poly I:C-primed ADMSCs. In contrast, priming ADMSCs with LPS significantly reduced the therapeutic effect of ADMSCs in AIA animals.

conclusionAs a result of these findings, poly I:C priming may be a new technique for improving the therapeutic effects of MSCs in arthritic disorders.
