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

Background: Liver transplantation is limited by the insufficiency of liver organ donors when treating end-stage liver disease or acute liver failure (ALF). Ectodermal mesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs) derived from nasal mucosa have emerged as an alternative cell-based therapy. However, the role of EMSCs in acute liver failure remains unclear. Methods: EMSCs were obtained from the nasal mucosa tissue of rats. First, EMSCs were seeded on the gelatin-chitosan scaffolds, and the biocompatibility was evaluated. Next, the protective effects of EMSCs were investigated in carbon tetrachloride- (CCl Results: EMSCs exhibited a similar phenotype to other mesenchymal stem cells along with self-renewal and multilineage differentiation capabilities. EMSC-seeded gelatin-chitosan scaffolds can increase survival rates and ameliorate liver function and pathology of ALF rat models. Moreover, transplanted EMSCs can secrete paracrine factors to promote hepatocyte regeneration, targeted migration, and transdifferentiate into HLCs in response to the liver's microenvironment, which will then repair or replace the damaged hepatocytes. Similar to mature hepatocytes, HLCs generated from EMSCs possess functions of expressing specific hepatic markers, storing glycogen, and producing urea. Conclusions: These results confirmed the feasibility of EMSCs in acute hepatic failure treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first time that EMSCs are used in the therapy of liver diseases. EMSCs are expected to be a novel and promising cell source in liver tissue engineering.
