1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundBone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) are commonly used for cell transplantation to treat refractory diseases. However, the presence of inflammatory factors, such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), at the transplantation site severely compromises the stemness of BMMSCs, thereby reducing the therapeutic effect of cell transplantation. Aspirin (AS) is a drug that has been in use for over a century and has a wide range of effects, including the regulation of cell proliferation, multidirectional differentiation, and immunomodulatory properties of stem cells. However, it is still unclear whether AS can delay the damaging effects of TNF-α on BMMSC stemness.

methodsThis study investigated the effects of AS and TNF-α on BMMSC stemness and the molecular mechanisms using colony formation assay, western blot, qRT-PCR, and overexpression or knockdown of YAP and SMAD7.

resultsThe results demonstrated that TNF-α inhibited cell proliferation, the expression of stemness, osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation markers of BMMSCs. Treatment with AS was shown to mitigate the TNF-α-induced damage to BMMSC stemness. Mechanistic studies revealed that AS may reverse the damage caused by TNF-α on BMMSC stemness by upregulating YAP and inhibiting the expression of SMAD7.

conclusionAS can attenuate the damaging effects of TNF-α on BMMSC stemness by regulating the YAP-SMAD7 axis. These findings are expected to promote the application of AS to improve the efficacy of stem cell therapy.
