Single-cell transcriptome analysis of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth investigating functional heterogeneity in immunomodulation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. The inadequate understanding of MSCs and their heterogeneity can impact the immune environment, which may be the cause of the good outcomes of MSCs-based therapy that cannot always be achieved. Recently, stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) showed great potential in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases due to their immature properties compared with MSCs. In our study, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed that SHED in a low differentiation state (S7) exhibited the powerful ability to recruit multiple immune cells. In contrast, SHED in a relatively high differentiation state (S1) may hold a solid ability to secret many factors with paracrine signaling capacity. The analysis result shows that SHED has more robust immunomodulatory properties than human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) or human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs). When co-cultured with PBMCs, SHED can enhance the proliferation of Treg and down-regulate TNF-α in vitro. SHED may have some advantages in the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
