Paracrine and Autocrine Effects of VEGF Are Enhanced in Human eMSC Spheroids.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
The mechanisms underlying the therapeutic potential of MSCs are the focus of intense research. We studied human MSCs isolated from desquamated endometrium (eMSCs), which, as previously shown, have high regenerative potential in various disease models. The aim was to evaluate the role of secreted VEGF in stimulating angiogenesis and maintaining eMSC viability and migration, which is important for improving the therapeutic properties of MSCs. We compared three eMSC cultures differing in the level of VEGF secretion: 3D spheroids, monolayer eMSCs, and monolayer eMSCs with VEGF knockdown. Spheroid eMSCs produced higher amounts of VEGF and had the strongest paracrine effect on HUVEC. eMSCs with VEGF knockdown did not stimulate angiogenesis. Monolayered eMSCs expressed VEGFR1, while spheroid eMSCs expressed both VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 receptors. The knockdown of VEGF caused a significant decrease in the viability and migration of eMSCs. eMSCs from 3D spheroids enhanced proliferation and migration in response to exogenous VEGF, in contrast to monolayered eMSCs. Our results suggest that the VEGF-VEGFR1 loop appears to be autocrine-involved in maintaining the viability of eMSCs, and VEGFR2 expression enhances their response to exogenous VEGF, so the angiogenic potential of eMSC can be up- or downregulated by intrinsic VEGF signals.
