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

objectiveMesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) play immunomodulatory role in various autoimmune diseases. Previous pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown that MSCs could be a therapeutic modality for psoriasis. However, the mechanisms of treatment and its possible side effects are under investigation. In this study, the safety and probable efficacy of injecting allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADSCs) in psoriatic patients were evaluated. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this phase I clinical study with six months of follow-up, total number of 1×10

resultsNo major adverse effects such as burning, pain, itching, or any systemic side effects were observed following ADSCs injection, and the lesions showed slight to considerable improvement after injection. The mRNA expression levels of pro-inflammatory factors were reduced in the dermis of the patients after injection. The increased expression level of Foxp3 transcription factor in the patient blood samples suggested modulation of inflammation after ADMSCs administration. Six months after the intervention, no major side effects were reported, but skin thickness, erythema, and scaling of the plaques, as well as the PASI score, were decreased in majority of patients.

conclusionOur study suggested that ADSC injection could be considered as a safe and effective therapeutic approach for psoriatic plaques (registration number: IRCT20080728001031N24).
