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

Introduction: Numerous studies have shown the positive effects of rosmarinic acid on the nervous system. Rosmarinic acid as a herbal compound with anti-inflammatory effects can prevent thedestructive effect of inflammation on the nervous system. Furthermore, various studies haveemphasized the advantages of three-dimensional (3D) culture over the two-dimensional (2D) culture of cells. Methods: In this study, thermosensitive chitosan (CH)-based hydrogel as a 3D scaffoldwith the combination of chitosan, beta-glycerol phosphate and hydroxyl ethyl cellulose (CH-GP-HEC) loaded with rosmarinic acid was used to induce neuronal differentiation in humanWharton jelly stem cells. Also, cells were divided into eight groups to evaluate the effect of 3Dcell culture and to compare gene expression in different induction conditions. Results: The results ofgene expression analysis showed the highest expression of neuronal markers in Whartons jelly derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSCs) cultured in chitosan, beta-glycerol phosphate and hydroxyl ethyl cellulose (ch-gp-hec) loaded with differentiation medium androsmarinic acid. According to the results of gene expression, rosmarinic acid alone has a positiveeffect on the induction of expression of neural markers. This positive effect is enhanced by cellculture in 3D conditions. Conclusion: This study shows that rosmarinic acid can be considered an inexpensiveand available compound for use in neural tissue engineering. The results of this study indicatethat rosmarinic acid can be considered a cheap and available compound for use in neural tissueengineering.
