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

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy regenerates damaged structures of the respiratory system and restores lung function, thus providing a promising therapeutic approach for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Understanding the communication between injured alveolar cells and MSCs can improve the efficiency of MSC-based therapies. The present study analyzed the untargeted metabolomics of the supernatant of AEC-II injury induced by cigarette smoke extract and identified 205 differential metabolites. Phenotypic assays indicated that phenylacetylglutamine (PAG) significantly promoted the migration and mitochondrial function of bone marrow MSCs (BMSCs). Whole-transcriptome sequencing (WT-seq) was used to analyze the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and mRNA expression profiles of BMSCs treated with PAG. The upregulated lncNRA NONRATT006276.2 (NRT6276.2) and its trans-regulated gene, microtubule-associated protein tau (Mapt), were identified based on the lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network and bioinformatics analysis. The knockdown of NRT6276.2 or Mapt inhibited the positive effects of PAG on BMSCs. Furthermore, Mapt overexpression reversed the phenotype of BMSCs inhibited by silencing NRT6276.2. In conclusion, PAG enhanced the migration and mitochondrial function of BMSCs by regulating the NRT6276.2/Mapt pathway. This study clarified the positive effects of PAG produced by injured lung cells on transplanted MSCs, providing a potential new strategy to enhance the efficiency of MSC-based therapies.
