Comparing the Therapeutic Mechanism and Immune Response of Human and Mouse Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Immunocompetent Mice With Acute Liver Failure.
Article in Stem cells translational medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Current mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) research is based on xenotransplantation of human MSCs (hMSCs) in immunodeficient mice and cannot comprehensively predict MSC repair mechanisms and immunomodulatory effects in damaged tissue. This study compared the therapeutic efficacy, mechanisms, and immune response of hMSCs and mouse MSCs (mMSCs) in immunocompetent mice with CCl4-induced acute liver failure. mMSCs maintained F4/80+ hepatic macrophage recruitment into the damaged liver region, increased IL-6-dependent hepatocyte proliferation, and reduced inflammatory TNF-α cytokine secretion. Moreover, mMSCs reduced α-SMA+ myofibroblast activation by lowering TGF-β1 accumulation in damaged liver tissue. In contrast, hMSCs lowered TNF-α and TGF-β1 by reducing the recruitment of F4/80+ hepatic macrophages, which lost the ability to remove debris and induce IL-6 liver regeneration. Finally, hMSCs, but not mMSCs, caused a significant antibody response in immunocompetent mice; therefore, hMSCs are unsuitable for long-term MSC studies. This comparative study provides reference information for further MSC studies of immunocompetent mice.
