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
Clinical treatment options to combat Encephalopathy of Prematurity (EoP) are still lacking. We, and others, have proposed (intranasal) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as a potent therapeutic strategy to boost white matter repair in the injured preterm brain. Using a double-hit mouse model of diffuse white matter injury, we previously showed that the efficacy of MSC treatment was time dependent, with a significant decrease in functional and histological improvements after the postponement of cell administration. In this follow-up study, we aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying this loss of therapeutic efficacy. Additionally, we optimized the regenerative potential of MSCs by means of genetic engineering with the transient hypersecretion of beneficial factors, in order to prolong the treatment window. Though the cerebral expression of known chemoattractants was stable over time, the migration of MSCs to the injured brain was partially impaired. Moreover, using a primary oligodendrocyte (OL) culture, we showed that the rescue of injured OLs was reduced after delayed MSC coculture. Cocultures of modified MSCs, hypersecreting IGF1, LIF, IL11, or IL10, with primary microglia and OLs, revealed a superior treatment efficacy over naïve MSCs. Additionally, we showed that the delayed intranasal administration of IGF1-, LIF-, or IL11-hypersecreting MSCs, improved myelination and the functional outcome in EoP mice. In conclusion, the impaired migration and regenerative capacity of intranasally applied MSCs likely underlie the observed loss of efficacy after delayed treatment. The intranasal administration of IGF1-, LIF-, or IL11-hypersecreting MSCs, is a promising optimization strategy to prolong the window for effective MSC treatment in preterm infants with EoP.
