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: The increasing incidence and mortality rates of respiratory system diseases globally pose a significant public health challenge. Bacterial pneumonia is one of the leading risk factors for acute lung injury. Conventional antibiotics face inherent limitations, particularly the increase in bacterial resistance and inability to suppress inflammatory states, underscoring the urgent need for novel approaches to combat bacterial pneumonia. Methods: This study evaluated the therapeutic effects of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) on bacterial pneumonia in a zebrafish model, focusing on their impact on macrophage and neutrophil counts and their inhibitory effects on Results: Our study found that UC-MSCs can effectively inhibit the development of bacterial pneumonia, primarily by reducing the number of macrophages and neutrophils and inhibiting the secretion of inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, thereby suppressing Conclusion: UC-MSCs demonstrate promising potential in the treatment of bacterial pneumonia. This study provides important reference for the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of stem cell treatment of bacterial pneumonia, offering new avenues for clinical applications.
