Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells combined with pirfenidone upregulates the expression of RGS2 in the pulmonary fibrosis in mice.

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.
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
objectiveThe therapeutic effect of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) in combination with pirfenidone (PFD) on pulmonary fibrosis in mice and its possible mechanism were investigated.
methodsC57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into six groups: control group, model group, P
resultsCompared with other PFD group doses, the P
conclusionThe findings suggest that hUC-MSCs combined with low-dose PFD have a therapeutic effect better than that of the two treatments used separately. Its effect on attenuating bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice is related to the increase of RGS2.
