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

Stem cell transplantation has been extensively explored to promote ischemic limb vascularization and skeletal muscle regeneration. Yet the therapeutic efficacy is low due to limited cell survival under low oxygen environment of the ischemic limbs. Therefore, continuously oxygenating the transplanted cells has potential to increase their survival. During tissue regeneration, the number of blood vessels are gradually increased, leading to the elevation of tissue oxygen content. Accordingly, less exogenous oxygen is needed for the transplanted cells. Excessive oxygen may induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, causing cell apoptosis. Thus, it is attractive to develop oxygen-release biomaterials that are responsive to the environmental oxygen level. Herein, we developed oxygen-release microspheres whose oxygen release was controlled by oxygen-responsive shell. The shell hydrophilicity and degradation rate decreased as the environmental oxygen level increased, leading to slower oxygen release. The microspheres were capable of directly releasing molecular oxygen, which are safer than those oxygen-release biomaterials that release hydrogen peroxide and rely on its decomposition to form oxygen. The released oxygen significantly enhanced mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) survival without inducing ROS production under hypoxic condition. Co-delivery of MSCs and microspheres to the mouse ischemic limbs ameliorated MSC survival, proliferation and paracrine effects under ischemic conditions. It also significantly accelerated angiogenesis, blood flow restoration, and skeletal muscle regeneration without provoking tissue inflammation. The above results demonstrate that the developed microspheres have potential to augment cell survival in ischemic tissues, and promote ischemic tissue regeneration in a safer and more efficient manner.
