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

Crohn's disease (CD) has a complex pathogenesis; there is currently no effective treatment. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a potential therapeutic option for CD. It is important to systematically evaluate the safety and effectiveness of MSCs and their mechanism for the treatment of CD to support their clinical application. Here, the safety and effectiveness of MSCs from the human placenta (hPMSCs) are evaluated. All the indicators show that hPMSC transplantation is safe and effectively alleviates intestinal inflammation, reduces intestinal apoptosis and fibrosis, and promotes recovery of the intestinal barrier in mice and organoids. IGFBP-4 is the most expressed by hPMSCs and is verified to play a therapeutic role by activating the AMPK-FXR pathway to alleviate intestinal inflammation and repair the intestinal barrier function. Our findings demonstrate that hPMSCs alleviate CD by activating the AMPK-FXR pathway with IGFBP-4 to reduce intestinal inflammation and repair intestinal barrier function.
