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.

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.

Abstract

introductionCrohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract distinguished by progressive bowel damage with a risk of structuring and penetrating complications. It is characterised by focal or segmental transmural inflammation that disrupts intestinal mucosal integrity and favours the development of abscesses and fistulas. Perianal fistula develops in 13%-39% of patients with CD. Their care is difficult but improves with medical and surgical treatment to preserve anal continence and avoid a maximum proctectomy. Combined treatment with seton placement and concomitant anti-TNF (infliximab, adalimumab) allows wound healing in 40%-70% of cases. The currently available treatments are not curative and fail to provide a long-term resolution. The injection of adipose stromal cells is currently being evaluated in clinical studies for repair-damaged tissues in various diseases (limb ischaemia, osteoarthritis, systemic sclerosis, etc). Immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of AdMSC (adipose-derived stroma/stem cells) are responsible for accelerating healing and represent an innovative approach for treating perianal fistulas associated with CD. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This phase I/IIa study is designed to assess the treatment of complex perianal fistulas linked with CD after failure of conventional treatment by injection of AdMSC (CellReady) into the fistula. Two doses of associated AdMSC will be tested for a dose escalation (5×10 ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The EU CT number 2024-511821-75-00 was approved by the following Ethics Committee: CPP (committee for the protection of persons in French: comité de protection des personnes) Ouest 1 - Tours #2024UEMED-18 and ANSM (French Agency for the Safety of Health and Medicinal Products in French : Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament et des produits de santé) #2024-511821-75-00 (Sponsor number RC31/13/7030, protocol V2.1).
