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

The human amniotic membrane (hAM) has been applied as a scaffold in tissue engineering to sustain stem cells and enhance their regenerative capacities. We investigated the molecular and biochemical regulations of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) cultured on hAM scaffold in a three-dimensional (3D) setting. Culture of adipose-MSCs (AMSCs) on decellularized hAM showed significant improvement in their viability, proliferative capacity, resistance to apoptosis, and enhanced MSC markers expression. These cultured MSCs displayed altered expression of markers associated with pro-angiogenesis and inflammation and demonstrated increased potential for differentiation into adipogenic and osteogenic lineages. The hAM scaffold modulated cellular respiration by upregulating glycolysis in MSCs as evidenced by increased glucose consumption, cellular pyruvate and lactate production, and upregulation of glycolysis markers. These metabolic changes modulated mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and altered the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), expression of OXPHOS markers, and total antioxidant capacity. They also significantly boosted the urea cycle and altered the mitochondrial ultrastructure. Similar findings were observed in bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMSCs). Live cell imaging of BMSCs cultured in the same 3D environment revealed dynamic changes in cellular activity and interactions with its niche. These findings provide evidence for the favorable properties of hAM as a biomimetic scaffold for enhancing the in vitro functionality of MSCs and supporting their potential usefulness in clinical applications.
