Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Transplantation for Severe Spinal Cord Injury: Functional Improvement Supported by Angiogenesis and Neuroprotection.
Article in Cells, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Mesenchymal stromal cell transplantation alone is insufficient when motor dysfunction is severe; combination therapy with rehabilitation could improve motor function. Here, we aimed to analyze the characteristics of adipose-derived MSCs (AD-MSCs) and determine their effectiveness in severe spinal cord injury (SCI) treatment. A severe SCI model was created and motor function were compared. The rats were divided into AD-MSC-transplanted treadmill exercise-combined (AD-Ex), AD-MSC-transplanted non-exercise (AD-noEx), PBS-injected exercise (PBS-Ex), and no PBS-injected exercise (PBS-noEx) groups. In cultured cell experiments, AD-MSCs were subjected to oxidative stress, and the effects on the extracellular secretion of AD-MSCs were investigated using multiplex flow cytometry. We assessed angiogenesis and macrophage accumulation in the acute phase. Spinal cavity or scar size and axonal preservation were assessed histologically in the subacute phase. Significant motor function improvement was observed in the AD-Ex group. Vascular endothelial growth factor and C-C motif chemokine 2 expression in AD-MSC culture supernatants increased under oxidative stress. Enhanced angiogenesis and decreased macrophage accumulation were observed at 2 weeks post-transplantation, whereas spinal cord cavity or scar size and axonal preservation were observed at 4 weeks. Overall, AD-MSC transplantation combined with treadmill exercise training improved motor function in severe SCI. AD-MSC transplantation promoted angiogenesis and neuroprotection.
