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

backgroundHuman adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (hASCs) play important roles in regenerative medicine and numerous inflammatory diseases. However, their cellular heterogeneity limits the effectiveness of treatment. Understanding the distinct subtypes of hASCs and their phenotypic implications will enable the selection of appropriate subpopulations for targeted approaches in regenerative medicine or inflammatory diseases.

methodshASC subtypes expressing dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) were identified via fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis. DPP4 expression was knocked down in DPP4

resultsDPP4

conclusionsDPP4 may regulate proliferation, hepatocyte differentiation, inflammatory cytokine secretion and T-cell functionality of hASCs. These data provide a key foundation for understanding the important role of hASC subpopulations in the regulation of T cells, which may be helpful for future immune activation studies and allow them to be customized for clinical application.
