Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells recover chemotherapy-induced premature ovarian failure.

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
Background: Current therapeutic approaches for premature ovarian failure (POF) are often inadequate in clinical practice and some raise ethical concerns. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) have emerged as a preferred option for cell transplantation, attributed to their facile extraction process and minimal immunogenicity. Objective and methods: This study aimed to elucidate the transcriptomic alterations associated with hUC-MSCs treated in the context of POF mice and to explore their underlying biological mechanisms. POF mice were established via injecting cyclophosphamide (CTX) plus busulfan (BU). Subsequently, ovaries and serum were collected after 1 week for model identification. 4 weeks after hUC-MSCs transplantation, ovaries and serum were collected for experimental analysis. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and their expression levels were validated through reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Results: After hUC-MSCs therapy, the number of follicles recovered significantly and the atretic follicles decreased significantly. FSH was reduced, AMH and E2 levels were increased in the treatment group, and comparable to the control group. 343 DEGs were detected in the POF group and the treatment group, including 187 up-regulated genes and 156 down-regulated genes. Our comparative analysis of hUC-MSCs treated with POF samples revealed significant involvement of biological pathways and processes related to cell adhesion, proliferation, apoptosis, inflammatory response and immune response. Conclusion: Our research offers a novel perspective on the application of hUC-MSCs for the treatment of POF and establishes a foundation for further exploration of their potential clinical applications.
