Rehabilitative Training Enhances Therapeutic Effect of Human-iPSC-Derived Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells Transplantation in Chronic Spinal Cord Injury.
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 19 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
Cell transplantation therapy using human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem/progenitor cells (hiPSC-NS/PCs) is a new therapeutic strategy for spinal cord injury (SCI). Preclinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of hiPSC-NS/PCs transplantation in the subacute phase of SCI. However, locomotor recovery secondary to hiPSC-NS/PCs transplantation is limited in the chronic phase, suggesting that additional treatment, including rehabilitative training, is required to ensure recovery. The therapeutic potential of hiPSC-NS/PCs that qualify for clinical application is yet to be fully delineated. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the therapeutic effect of the combined therapy of clinical-grade hiPSC-NS/PCs transplantation and rehabilitative training that could produce synergistic effects in a rodent model of chronic SCI. Our findings indicated that rehabilitative training promoted the survival rate and neuronal differentiation of transplanted hiPSC-NS/PCs. The combination therapy was able to enhance the expressions of the BDNF and NT-3 proteins in the spinal cord tissue. Moreover, rehabilitation promoted neuronal activity and increased 5-HT-positive fibers at the lumbar enlargement. Consequently, the combination therapy significantly improved motor functions. The findings of this study suggest that the combined therapy of hiPSC-NS/PCs transplantation and rehabilitative training has the potential to promote functional recovery even when initiated during chronic SCI.
