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

introductionOne of the key factors that may influence the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) is their metabolism. The switch between mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis can be affected by many factors, including the oxygen concentration and the spatial form of culture. This study compared the metabolic features of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (ASCs) and dedifferentiated fat cells (DFATs) cultivated as monolayer or spheroid culture under 5% O

resultsWe observed that the cells cultured as spheroids had a slightly lower viability and a reduced proliferation rate but a higher expression of the stemness-related transcriptional factors compared to the cells cultured in monolayer. The three-dimensional culture form increased mtDNA content, oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR), especially in DFATs-3D population. The DFATs spheroids also demonstrated increased levels of Complex V proteins and higher rates of ATP production. Moreover, increased reactive oxygen species and lower intracellular lactic acid levels were also found in 3D culture.

conclusionOur results may suggest that metabolic reconfiguration accompanies the transition from 2D to 3D culture and the processes of both mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis become more active. Intensified metabolism might be associated with the increased demand for energy, which is needed to maintain the expression of pluripotency genes and stemness state.
