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

backgroundCurrent drugs primarily target inflammation control but do not reverse tissue remodeling changes for asthma. Human mesenchymal stem cells are known for their anti-inflammatory and tissue remodeling capabilities. However, limited research has explored the therapeutic impact of varying doses and frequencies of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUC-MSCs) on established airway remodeling in experimental asthma.

aimTo explore and optimize the dosage and administration frequency of HUC-MSCs in experimental models of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma.

methodsBALB/c mice underwent sensitization and were challenged using OVA. Control animals were administered a saline solution following the same protocol. HUC-MSCs were identified using flow cytometry. HUC-MSCs at incremental dosages (1 × 10

resultsThe study shows that HUC-MSC transplantation ameliorates OVA-induced asthma by significantly reducing airway inflammation and obstruction in preclinical models. This effect is associated with decreased Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13, and increased Th1 cytokine IFN-γ. The optimal dose of 2 × 10

conclusionHUC-MSCs effectively regulate pro-inflammatory mediators in serum and BALF, modulating airway remodeling and lung function. In this acute mouse asthma model, a single dosage of 2 × 10
