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

Stroke is a leading cause of death in the US and around the world but with limited treatment options. Survivors often present with long-term cognitive and neurological deficits. Stem cell-based therapy has emerged as a potential treatment for stroke. While stem cell transplantation in stroke has reached clinical trials, mostly safety outcomes have been reported with efficacy readouts warranting more studies. In an effort to optimize the stem cell regimen for stroke, here we conducted vis-a-vis comparison of different routes of transplantation, namely, intracerebral, intraarterial, and intranasal delivery of expanded human CD34 + stem cells, called ProtheraCytes, in the established stroke model of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) using adult Sprague-Dawley rats. After adjusting for the dose and subacute timing of cell delivery, animals were randomly assigned to receive either ProtheraCytes or vehicle. Motor and neurological assays from days 7 to 28 post-stroke revealed significant functional recovery across all 3 delivery routes of ProtheraCytes compared to vehicle-treated stroke rats. Additionally, ProtheraCytes-transplanted stroke rats displayed significantly reduced infarct size and cell loss in the peri-infarct area coupled with enhanced neurogenesis and angiogenesis compared to vehicle-treated stroke rats. These results highlight the safety and efficacy of transplanting ProtheraCytes, including via the minimally invasive intranasal route, in conferring robust and stable behavioral and histological positive outcomes in experimental stroke.
