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

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition without an effective therapy. Cellular therapies are among the promising treatment strategies. Adult stem cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells, are often used clinical research for their immunomodulatory and regenerative potential. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSC) infusion through the cauda equina in rats with SCI. The human ADSC from bariatric surgery was isolated, expanded, and characterized. Wistar rats were subjected to blunt SCI and were divided into four groups. Two experimental groups (EG): EG1 received one ADSC infusion after SCI, and EG2 received two infusions, the first one after SCI and the second infusion seven days after the injury. Control groups (CG1 and CG2) received infusion with a culture medium. In vivo, cell tracking was performed 48 h and seven days after ADSC infusion. The animals were followed up for 40 days after SCI, and immunohistochemical quantification of myelin, neurons, and astrocytes was performed. Cellular tracking showed cell migration towards the injury site. ADSC infusion significantly reduced neuronal loss, although it did not prevent the myelin loss or enhance the area occupied by astrocytes compared to the control group. The results were similar when comparing one or two cell infusions. The injection of ADSC distal to the injured area was shown to be a safe and effective method for cellular administration in spinal cord injury.
