Immune characteristics of olfactory ensheathing cells and repair of nerve injury.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The process of nerve injury is accompanied by the change of inflammatory microenvironment, which is not conducive to axonal regeneration and hinders the repair of injured nerve. Therefore, looking for a way to improve the inflammatory attack and immune state around the injured nerve is beneficial to the progress of nerve injury repair. In recent years, cell transplantation strategy has played a foreground role in the repair of nerve injury. Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are a special kind of glial cells, which have the characteristics of continuous renewal and survival, antigenic characteristics, variability and promoting the repair of nerve injury. OECs have been recognized in different injury models, including clinical trials, which has become a dominant cell in cell replacement therapy. An important feature of OECs lies in their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory functions. They are transplanted into the host to improve the catastrophic inflammatory microenvironment caused by injured nerves, thus promoting the repair and regeneration of injured nerves. The transplantation of OECs into the host can provide good groundwork and support for the repair and regeneration of nerve injury by regulating the activity and infiltration of immune cells, the secretion of inflammatory cytokines and phagocytosis. Therefore, this paper discusses the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory mechanisms of OECs transplantation in the repair of nerve injury and the functional role of OECs as an ideal substitute in the treatment of nerve injury.
