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
backgroundFeline panleukopenia is an acute and highly contagious disease caused by feline panleukopenia virus (FPV). Conventional therapeutic approaches often yield suboptimal outcomes in managing leukopenia, which consequently contributes to its high mortality rate. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a type of multipotent stem cell characterized by their multidirectional differentiation potential and immunomodulatory capabilities. Studies have shown that MSCs possess the potential to treat inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases, support and promote hematopoiesis, and facilitate tissue repair. Therefore, this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of combining MSCs with feline panleukopenia monoclonal antibody to propose a potential treatment for FPV.
methodMSCs were extracted from a newborn kitten's umbilical cord tissue. Fifteen healthy unimmunized kittens aged 2 to 4 months were divided evenly into three groups: control group, conventional treatment group, and MSCs group (conventional treatment combined with MSCs therapy, involving daily intravenous administration of 1 × 10
resultThe results revealed that in the control group and conventional treatment group, cats exhibited a rapid decline in white blood cell count following disease onset, ultimately resulting in mortality. Conversely, in the MSCs group, four cats demonstrated an increase in white blood cell count post-treatment, subsequently returning to normal levels. However, one cat did not exhibit a significant increase and died on the third day of treatment.
conclusionThese findings highlight the therapeutic potential of MSCs in elevating leukocyte counts, improving clinical symptoms, and ultimately leading to a significant enhancement of survival rates among FPV-affected cats.
