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

COVID-19 emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, spread worldwide rapidly, and caused millions of deaths in a short time. Many preclinical and clinical studies were performed to discover the most efficient therapy to reduce the mortality of COVID-19 patients. Among various approaches for preventing and treating COVID-19, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy can be regarded as a novel and efficient treatment for managing COVID-19 patients. In this review, we explain the pathogenesis of COVID-19 infection in humans and discuss the role of MSCs in suppressing the inflammation and cytokine storm produced by COVID-19. Then, we reviewed the clinical trial and systematic review studies that investigated the safety and efficacy of MSC therapy in the treatment of COVID-19 infection.
