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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsMucous mesenchymal stem cells can migrate to damaged areas, and their use is proposed as a new approach to treating diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of oral mesenchymal stem cells (OMSCs) on inflammatory, oxidative stress, and histopathological indices in the tissues of the stomach, intestine, and colon after traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS AND MATERIALS: Adult male rats were randomly divided into four groups: Sham, TBI, Vehicle (Veh), and Stem cell (SC). Intravenous injection of OMSCs was performed at 1 and 24 h after injury. The inflammatory, oxidative stress, and histopathological indices of the tissues of the stomach, small intestine, and colon were evaluated 48 h after injury.

resultsAfter TBI, IL-1β and IL-6 levels increased and IL-10 levels decreased in the tissues of the stomach, small intestine, and colon, but the administration of OMSCS prevented these changes to a large extent. Oxidative stress indices (MDA, PC, TAC, SOD, and CAT) showed an increase in oxidative stress after TBI, but oxidative stress was less severe in the OMSC group. The administration of OMSCs after TBI improved the histopathological outcome in the tissues of the stomach, small intestine, and colon.

conclusionAdministration of OMSCs in rats suffering from TBI can improve inflammatory, oxidative stress, and histopathological indices in the tissues of the stomach, small intestine, and colon, which shows the beneficial effect of using OMSCs in TBI.
