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

backgroundCartilage has intrinsically limited healing power, and regeneration of cartilage damages has remained a challenge. Secreted products of mesenchymal stem cells have shown a new therapeutic strategies for cartilage injuries. Also it has been observed that low frequency electromagnetic field plays a key role in biological processes.

objectiveThis research was performed to investigate the synergic effect of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes and low frequency electromagnetic field on chondrogenic differentiation.

methodsIn this

resultsThe results confirmed the presence of exosomes with an approximate size of less than 100 nm. The results of Alcian blue revealed greater expression of glycosaminoglycans in the synergic treatment group compared to the other groups. Real-time PCR showed a significant increase in the expression of Sox-9, Acan, and Col 2a1 genes, as well as a significant reduction of Col 10a1 gene expression in the synergic treatment group compared to other groups.

conclusionThis study indicated that the synergic effect of exosome and low-frequency electromagnetic fields would lead to enhanced chondrogenic differentiation, which can be further explored in future clinical studies.
