Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Loaded Hydrogel Improves Surgical Treatment for Chronic Cerebral Ischemia.
Article in Translational stroke research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) results in a prolonged insufficient blood supply to the brain tissue, leading to impaired neuronal function and subsequent impairment of cognitive and motor abilities. Our previous research showed that in mice with bilateral carotid artery stenosis, the collateral neovascularization post Encephalo-myo-synangiosis (EMS) treatment could be facilitated by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation. Considering the advantages of biomaterials, we synthesized and modified a gelatin hydrogel for MSCs encapsulation. We then applied this hydrogel on the brain surface during EMS operation in rats with CCI, and evaluated its impact on cognitive performance and collateral circulation. Consequently, MSCs encapsulated in hydrogel significantly augment the therapeutic effects of EMS, potentially by promoting neovascularization, facilitating neuronal differentiation, and suppressing neuroinflammation. Furthermore, taking advantage of multi-RNA-sequencing and in silico analysis, we revealed that MSCs loaded in hydrogel regulate PDCD4 and CASP2 through the overexpression of miR-183-5p and miR-96-5p, thereby downregulating the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and inhibiting early apoptosis. In conclusion, a gelatin hydrogel to enhance the functionality of MSCs has been developed, and its combination with EMS treatment can improve the therapeutic effect in rats with CCI, suggesting its potential clinical benefit.
