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

backgroundMesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are known to protect tissues from inflammation and oxidative stress. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and MSC treatment on cardiac maturation in a juvenile porcine model.

methodsTwo-week-old Yorkshire pigs were randomly assigned to 3 groups: (1) control (n=10), (2) CPB (n=10), and (3) CPB + MSC (n=15). MSCs (1 × 10

resultsOxidative stress marker 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and Iba1

conclusionsCPB induces oxidative and inflammatory stresses, thereby causing cellular and structural changes in the developing heart. MSC treatment showed promise in improving CPB-induced impairments of cardiac maturation in neonates and infants undergoing cardiac surgery.
