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

backgroundPriming strategies that improve the functionality of MSCs may be required to address issues limiting successful clinical translation of MSC therapies. For conditions requiring high trophic support such as brain and spinal cord injuries, priming MSCs to produce higher levels of trophic factors may be instrumental to facilitate translation of current MSC therapies. We developed and tested a novel molecular priming paradigm using docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to prime adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASCs) to enhance the secretome neuroregulatory potential.

methodsComprehensive dose-response and time-course assays were carried to determine an optimal priming protocol. Secretome total protein measurements were taken in association with cell viability, density and morphometric assessments. Cell identity and differentiation capacity were studied by flow cytometry and lineage-specific markers. Cell growth was assessed by trypan-blue exclusion and senescence was probed over time using SA-β-gal, morphometry and gene expression. Secretomes were tested for their ability to support differentiation and neurite outgrowth of human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs). Neuroregulatory proteins in the secretome were identified using multiplex membrane arrays.

resultsPriming with 40 µM DHA for 72 h significantly enhanced the biosynthetic capacity of ASCs, producing a secretome with higher protein levels and increased metabolic viability. DHA priming enhanced ASCs adipogenic differentiation and adapted their responses to replicative senescence induction. Furthermore, priming increased concentrations of neurotrophic factors in the secretome promoting neurite outgrowth and modulating the differentiation of hNPCs.

conclusionsThese results provide proof-of-concept evidence that DHA priming is a viable strategy to improve the neuroregulatory profile of ASCs.
