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

There is clinical interest in using human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASC) to treat a range of inflammatory and regenerative conditions. Aspects of ASC biology, including their regenerative potential and paracrine effect, are likely to be modulated, in part, by microRNAs, small RNA molecules that are embedded as regulators of gene-expression in most biological pathways. However, the effect of standard isolation and expansion protocols on microRNA expression in ASC is not well explored. Here, by using an untouched and enriched population of primary human ASC, we demonstrate that there are rapid and significant changes in microRNA expression when ASC are subjected to standard isolation and expansion methods. Functional studies focusing on miR-378 indicate that these changes in expression may have an impact on phenotype and function. Specifically, we found that increased levels of miR-378 significantly promoted adipogenesis in late passage ASC. These results are informative to maximizing the potential of ASC for use in various clinical applications, and they have implications for targeting microRNAs as a therapeutic strategy for obesity or metabolic disease.
