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
Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) have emerged as a potential therapy for sepsis, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of BMSCs on serum inflammatory cytokines in a rat model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis. Sepsis was induced by intravenous injection of LPS, followed by transplantation of BMSCs. We monitored survival rates for 72 h and evaluated organ functions, histopathological changes, and cytokines expression. Sepsis rats showed decreased levels of white blood cells, platelets, lymphocyte ratio, and oxygen partial pressure, along with increased levels of neutrophil ratio, carbon dioxide partial pressure, lactic acid, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase. Histologically, lung, intestine, and liver tissues exhibited congestion, edema, and infiltration of inflammatory cells. However, after BMSCs treatment, there was improvement in organ functions, histopathological injuries, and survival rates. Protein microarray analysis revealed significant changes in the expression of 12 out of 34 inflammatory cytokines. These findings were confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Pro-inflammatory factors, such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-1α, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), tissue inhibitor of metal protease 1 (TIMP-1), matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8), Leptin, and L-selectin were upregulated in sepsis, whereas anti-inflammatory and growth factors, including IL-4, β-nerve growth factor (β-NGF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), interferon γ (IFN-γ), and Activin A were downregulated. BMSCs transplantation led to a decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokines and an increase in anti-inflammatory and growth factors. We summarized relevant molecular signaling pathways that resulted from cytokines in BMSCs for treating sepsis. Our results illustrated that BMSCs could promote tissue repair and improve organ functions and survival rates in sepsis through modulating cytokine networks.
