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

objectiveThe use of perinatal-derived tissues and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) as alternative treatment options to corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid injections has been gaining popularity. However, their ability to attenuate osteoarthritic (OA) symptoms while also slowing the progression of the disease remains controversial. Thus, the objective of this article is to summarize the results from both preclinical and clinical studies evaluating the efficacy of perinatal-derived tissue allografts and MSCs for the treatment of OA.

designA comprehensive literature search was conducted on databases including Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar beginning in March 2020 for both preclinical and clinical studies evaluating perinatal-derived tissues and MSCs in OA. Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were used for this review.

resultsBoth animal models and early human clinical trials demonstrated that perinatal tissues could reduce joint inflammation and pain as well as improve range of motion and function in OA. Perinatal tissue-derived MSCs in animal studies have shown the potential to support chondrocyte proliferation while also decreasing inflammatory gene and protein expression. Limited clinical results suggest perinatal tissue-derived MSC sources may also be a viable alternative or adjunct to hyaluronic acid in reducing pain and symptoms in an arthritic joint.

conclusionsPerinatal tissue-derived allografts and MSCs have promise as potential therapeutics for mitigating OA progression. However, further research is warranted to fully define the therapeutic mechanism(s) of action and safety of these biological therapies.
