Mechanisms of treatment effects using allogeneic, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal stem cells (MSCs) in knee osteoarthritis: a pharmacological clinical study protocol.
Article in Trials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06078059 (Mechanisms of Treatment Effects Using Cultured, Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stromal Stem Cells), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
backgroundKnee osteoarthritis (KOA) presents a prevalent orthopedic condition causing substantial impairment in the quality of life and imposing a significant societal and economic burden. Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs), known for their regenerative properties and immunomodulatory effects, have emerged as a promising therapeutic avenue in regenerative medicine. Despite MSCs' therapeutic potential, their precise mechanisms of action in KOA remain underexplored.
methodsConducted as a randomized, open-label clinical trial, 20 patients will be enrolled, with 10 in the intervention group and 10 in the control group. The primary focus will be to explore the molecular mechanisms associated with MSC therapy. Biomarkers and gene expressions related to cartilage metabolism, inflammation, immune modulation, and pain in the synovial fluid, blood, and tissue samples will be analyzed. Patients will undergo pre- and post-treatment evaluations using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and comprehensive clinical assessments. DISCUSSION: This is an exploratory study with the goal to provide comprehensive insights into the therapeutic effects of MSCs on a molecular level, potentially paving the way for optimized and more effective MSC-based therapies in the management of KOA, as well as furthering the development of novel treatment strategies.
