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

The aim was to investigate the therapeutic effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced colitis in rats and its effect on regulatory T cells (Treg). A model of DSS-induced colitis was established. BM-MSC was isolated and cultured to observe the efficacy of BM-MSC on colitis, including general vital signs, weight changes, colonic length changes, colonic histopathological changes, and colonic tissue MPO activity. The expression of inflammatory factors (IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-17, TGF-β) in colonic tissues was measured by real-time PCR. The amount of CD4 + CD25 + Treg was detected by flow cytometry. Real-time PCR was used to detect Foxp3+mRNA in CD4 + CD25 + Treg, western to detect Foxp3+protein expression in CD4 + CD25 + Treg, and ELISA was used to detect IL-35 and IL-10 cytokines in CD4 + CD25 + Treg culture supernatant. Results show that intravenous injection of BM-MSC significantly improved the clinical manifestations and histopathological changes in rats with experimental DSS colitis; significantly down-regulated the expression of inflammatory factors IFN-γ, IL-4, and IL-17 and up-regulated the expression of TGF-β in colon tissues; BM-MSC also increased the number of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg and enhanced the function of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg in colon tissues, and up-regulated the expression of IL-35. In conclusion, BM-MSC has a certain therapeutic effect on DSS-induced colitis. It can improve the general signs of colitis rats and reduce intestinal injury and inflammatory response. The immunoregulatory effect of BM-MSC is achieved by enhancing the function of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg and up-regulating the secretion of immunosuppressive inflammatory factors.
