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

Aims: Diabetes mellitus (DM) induces increased inflammation of atherosclerotic plaques, resulting in elevated plaque instability. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy was shown to decrease plaque size and increase stability in non-DM animal models. We now studied the effect of MSC therapy in a streptozotocin-induced hyperglycaemia mouse model using a clinically relevant dose of adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ASCs). Methods: Hyperglycaemia was induced in male C57BL/6 ApoE Results: ASC treatment did not significantly affect atherosclerotic plaque size or intra-plaque inflammation. Although ASC-treated mice had a higher percentage of intra-plaque fibrosis (42.5±3.3%) compared to vehicle-treated mice (37.6±6.8%, Conclusions: ASC treatment with a clinically relevant dose did not significantly affect atherosclerotic plaque size or intra-plaque inflammation in a hyperglycaemia mouse model. Despite a borderline significant improvement in intraplaque fibrotic content, the potential of ASC treatment on atherosclerotic plaque stability in a diabetic environment remains to be determined.
