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

objectiveTo compare the phenotype and adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation capacities of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) isolated from patients with psoriasis vulgaris and healthy donors, and to explore the effects of astragaloside IV, a Traditional Chinese Medicine, on the immunoregulatory function of AMSCs.

methodsAMSCs were isolated from human adipose tissue and cultured for three generations in vitro. Cell phenotype and cell cycle analysis were performed by flow cytometry. Adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of AMSCs was examined by lipid (oil red O) and alkaline phosphatase staining, respectively. Expression of inflammatory mediators was examined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis, and proliferation was quantified using the cell counting kit-8 assay.

resultsExpression of CD29, CD44, and CD73 was higher in AMSCs from healthy donors than psoriasis patients, while the reverse was true for expression of CD45, CD31, and HLA-DR. AMSCs from psoriasis patients had a greater ability to undergo adipogenic differentiation than cells from healthy donors, whereas there was no significant difference in osteogenic differentiation between AMSCs from the two sources. Compared with AMSCs from healthy donors, psoriasis patient-derived AMSCs expressed lower levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-10 and trans-forming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and the immune checkpoint ligand programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) (P < 0.05) and higher levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ). Incubation of AMSCs from psoriasis patients with astragaloside IV had no significant effect on pro-liferation but increased the expression of TGF-β and PD-L1 and decreased the expression of IFN-γ and TNF-α.

conclusionAMSCs from patients with psoriasis vulgaris display abnormal proliferation and adipogenesis and an enhanced pro-inflammatory phenotype. These defects were normalized by treatment with astragaloside IV, suggesting that this Traditional Chinese Medicine may be useful for restoring the immunoregulatory function of AMSCs and immune homeostasis in patients with psoriasis vulgaris.
