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

backgroundPromoting the fat retention rate effectively remains a current challenge in the fat transplantation technique. Both adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and dedifferentiated fat cells (DFATs) have strong multilineage differentiation potential and can promote fat graft retention rate. This study aimed to compare the difference in the stemness changes of ADSCs and DFATs after fat transplantation from both in vitro and in vivo perspectives.

methodsADSCs and DFATs were obtained using type I collagenase digestion and identified in morphology, cell-surface antigens, and multilineage differentiation potentials. Next, a method we called oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) was used to simulate an ischemic and hypoxia environment in vitro, and then the effect of OGD on the survival, proliferation, and differentiation capacities of ADSCs and DFATs was observed. Moreover, a mixture of fat with ADSCs or DFATs was injected into the subcutaneous of nude mice, followed by evaluation in the changes of fat retention rate and histology via weight measurement, HE/Masson staining, and immunofluorescent/immunohistochemistry staining of perilipin-1 or CD31, respectively.

resultsADSCs showed stronger survival, proliferation, and differentiation capacities than DFATs after exposure to the same degree of OGD injury. In addition, ADSC cell-assisted fat grafts showed a higher retention rate and maintained better fat integrity with fewer vacuoles, fibrosis, and lower inflammation extent compared with DFAT cell-assisted fat grafts; meanwhile, ADSC cell-assisted fat transplantation is more beneficial for adipogenesis and angiogenesis than DFAT.

conclusionOur findings indicate that ADSC might be a more ideal stemness cell than DFAT in promoting fat retention rate.
