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

objectivesTo explore the role of Chi3l1 in human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUC-MSCs) therapy of type 1 diabetes.

methodshUC-MSCs with stable Chi3l1 knockdown (sh-Chi3l1-MSCs) were constructed using a lentiviral vector and characterized by flow cytometry and adipogenic and osteogenic induction. In adult C57BL/6J mouse models of streptozotocin-induced T1DM, the therapeutic effects of sh-NC-MSCs and sh-Chi3l1-MSCs grafting were evaluated by observing changes in clinical manifestations, blood glucose, body weight and pancreatic tissue pathologies. Insulin content and macrophage infiltration in the islets were detected using immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining. The effects of these two stem cells on induced polarization of co-cultured mouse bone marrow macrophages were assessed using flow cytometry by detecting the mRNA expressions of iNOS, Arg-1, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, and IL-1β using qPCR.

resultsThe constructed sh-Chi3l1-MSCs retained the characteristics of MSCs but showed reduced therapeutic efficacy in T1DM mice. Immunofluorescence staining showed that the number of macrophages in the pancreatic tissue of the mice treated with sh-Chi3l1-MSCs was higher than that in MSCs treatment group. In the co-culture experiments, sh-Chi3l1-MSCs exhibited a lowered capacity to suppress M1 polarization of the macrophages and a reduced efficacy to promote differentiation of M2-type macrophage subset. Analysis with qPCR showed that the expressions of M1 macrophage marker iNOS and the inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β increased, while the expressions of M2 macrophage marker Arg-1 and the cytokines IL-13 and IL-10 were decreased significantly in sh-Chi3l1-MSCs group.

conclusionsIn T1DM mouse models, hUC-MSCs mitigate inflammatory responses by suppressing the production of pro-inflammatory M1-type macrophages
