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

Skeletal muscle injuries are prevalent in competitive sports, often disrupting elite athletes' training programs. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is abundant in growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines, making it a potential solution for treating muscle injuries. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) therapy presents promise for tissue regeneration, given their self-renew and differentiation capabilities. This study aims to investigate the impact of PRP on ADSCs, with a focus on cell migration. ADSCs were isolated from the subcutaneous adipose tissue of Sprague Dawley rats. Subsequently, these ADSCs were treated with PRP. The migration ability was assessed through in vitro wound assays, migration assays, and cell spreading assays. Molecular analysis, employing Western blot, was performed to examine the expression levels of phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase (FAK), FAK, phosphorylated paxillin, paxillin, and vinculin. The filamentous actin (F-actin) cytoskeleton formation was assessed through immunofluorescence staining. The study revealed a positive impact of PRP on ADSC migration in the in vitro wound assay, migration assay, and cell spreading assay. PRP elevated the expression levels of phosphorylated FAK, FAK, phosphorylated paxillin, paxillin, and vinculin in ADSCs. Additionally, PRP affected the distribution of F-actin in ADSCs. Furthermore, siRNA-mediated knockdown of FAK and paxillin confirmed their essential roles in PRP-enhanced ADSC migration. In conclusion, our findings demonstrated that PRP promoted the migration, spreading, in vitro wound healing, and cytoskeleton rearrangement of ADSCs by upregulating the expressions of phosphorylated FAK, FAK, phosphorylated paxillin, paxillin, and vinculin. This insight supports the potential use of PRP in combination with ADSCs for regeneration therapies.
