Age-Related Effects on MSC Immunomodulation, Macrophage Polarization, Apoptosis, and Bone Regeneration Correlate with IL-38 Expression.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to promote tissue regeneration and suppress excessive inflammation caused by infection or trauma. Reported evidence indicates that various factors influence the expression of MSCs' endogenous immunomodulatory properties. However, the detailed interactions of MSCs with macrophages, which are key cells involved in tissue repair, and their regulatory mechanisms are not completely understood. We herein investigated how age-related immunomodulatory impairment of MSCs alters the interaction of MSCs with macrophages during bone healing using young (5-week old) and aged (50-week old) mice. To clarify the relationship between inflammatory macrophages (M1) and MSCs, their spatiotemporal localization at the bone healing site was investigated by immunostaining, and possible regulatory mechanisms were analyzed in vitro co-cultures. Histomorphometric analysis revealed an accumulation of M1 and a decrease in MSC number at the healing site in aged mice, which showed a delayed bone healing. In in vitro co-cultures, MSCs induced M1 apoptosis through cell-to-cell contact but suppressed the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines by soluble factors secreted in the culture supernatant. Interestingly, interleukin 38 (
