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

Although mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation provides an alternative strategy for end-stage liver disease (ESLD), further widespread application of MSC therapy is limited owing to low cell engraftment efficiency. Improving cell engraftment efficiency plays a critical role in enhancing MSC therapy for liver diseases. In this review, we summarize the current status and challenges of MSC transplantation for ESLD. We also outline the complicated cell-homing process and highlight how low cell engraftment efficiency is closely related to huge differences in extracellular conditions involved in MSC homing journeys ranging from constant, controlled conditions in vitro to variable and challenging conditions in vivo. Improving cell survival and homing capabilities enhances MSC engraftment efficacy. Therefore, we summarize the current strategies, including hypoxic priming, drug pretreatment, gene modification, and cytokine pretreatment, as well as splenectomy and local irradiation, used to improve MSC survival and homing capability, and enhance cell engraftment and therapeutic efficiency of MSC therapy. We hope that this review will provide new insights into enhancing the efficiency of MSC engraftment in liver diseases.
