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

backgroundThe poor viability and paracrine function of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hamper their therapeutic efficacy in ischemic heart injury treatment. Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) mediate arginine methylation and have important functions in cellular responses. However, the role of PRMTs in MSC-based therapies for ischemic heart injury remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of PRMT1 on MSC function and therapeutic efficacy using a mouse myocardial infarction (MI) model.

methodsWe isolated, cultured, and identified mouse adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADSCs). We used Furamidine, a PRMT1 inhibitor, and adenoviral shPRMT1 to study the effects of PRMT1 inhibition on ADSC proliferation, migration, and viability. We performed RNA sequencing and biochemical experiments to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of PRMT1 in ADSCs. Finally, we infected ADSCs with adenoviral shPRMT1 and administered an intramyocardial injection after MI. Cardiac function was evaluated using echocardiography and pathological staining, and ADSCs survival rates, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and capillary density were evaluated using immunofluorescence staining.

resultsWe found that PRMT1 was highly expressed in ADSCs and markedly upregulated in response to H

conclusionsPRMT1 inhibition enhances the cardioprotective effect of ADSCs against MI through RUNX1-mediated production of MMP-10/PlGF/TGF-β2. Overall, PRMT1 inhibition is a promising strategy for augmenting MSCs therapeutic efficacy in ischemic cardiomyopathy.
