Enhanced Therapeutic Effects of Human Mesenchymal stem Cells Transduced with Secreted Klotho in a Murine Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis Model.
Article in Molecular neurobiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) remains a major challenge. The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) engineered with secreted Klotho (SKL) in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse model of MS. EAE was induced in mice. MSCs or MSCs engineered with SKL (SKL-MSCs) were administered to EAE mice at the onset of disease. Hematoxylin-eosin and luxol fast blue staining were performed to evaluate histopathological changes. Expression of pro-inflammatory (TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-17) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines was determined in the spinal cord using real-time PCR. Spinal cords were then processed for immunohistochemistry of the aforementioned cytokines. The frequencies of Th1, Th17, and regulatory T (Treg) cells were evaluated by flow cytometry of the spleen. The results showed that SKL-MSCs decreased clinical scores and reduced demyelination and inflammatory infiltration in the spinal cord more significantly than MSCs. Compared to MSCs, SKL-MSCs also exhibited a more profound capability of decreasing expression of TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-17 and increasing expression of IL-10 in the spinal cord with an enhanced homing to the inflamed tissue. Moreover, SKL-MSCs decreased the frequencies of Th1 and Th17 cells and increased the frequency of Treg cells in the spleen more potently than MSCs. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that SKL overexpression enhances the therapeutic potential of MSCs, as evidenced by significantly improved disease severity, decreased inflammation and tissue damage in the spinal cord, and a promoted shift in the Th17/Treg balance towards the anti-inflammatory Treg side in the EAE mice.
