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

This century's first major epidemic of a new coronavirus illness (2019-nCoV) was a tremendous shock to the healthcare system. The onset of the pandemic has caused severe economic and health shortages. At this time, there are no viable treatments for COVID-19. Several clinical studies using cell-based therapies, such as umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, have showed promising results (UC-MSCs). UC-MSCs have been the focus of much study because to their potential as a treatment option for COVID-19 patients. Cytokine release syndrome, often called cytokine storm, increases the risk of morbidity and mortality from COVID-19. It has been established that UC-MSCs may suppress and control both the adaptive and innate immune responses by modulating the release of immunostimulatory cytokines. The purpose of this study is to assess and clarify the use of UC-MSCs for the treatment of ARDS caused by COVID-19.
