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

aimsRegenerative medicine literature has demonstrated that the therapeutic potentials of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in experimental stroke are attributed to secreted bioactive factors rather than to cell replacement. Here, we explored the effects of secretome or conditioned medium (CM) derived from human embryonic stem cell-derived MSCs (hESC-MSCs) on hippocampal neurogenesis, inflammation, and apoptosis in experimental stroke.

methodsIschemic stroke was induced by right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in male Wistar rats, and CM was infused either one time (1-h post-stroke; CM1) or three times (1-, 24-, and 48-h post-stroke; CM3) into left lateral ventricle. Neurogenesis markers (Nestin, Ki67, Doublecortin, and Reelin) were assessed at transcript and protein levels in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus on day seven following MCAO. In parallel, changes in the gene expression of markers of apoptosis (Bax and Bim, as well as an anti-apoptotic marker of Bcl2), inflammation (IL-1β and IL-6, as well as IL-10 as an anti-inflammatory cytokine), trophic factors (BDNF, GDNF, NGF, and NT-3), and angiogenesis (CD31 and VEGF) in the hippocampus were assessed.

resultsOur results demonstrate that CM3 treatment could stimulate neurogenesis and angiogenesis concomitant with inhibition of inflammation, apoptosis, and neuronal loss in ischemic brains. Furthermore, rats treated with CM3 exhibited upregulation in neurotrophic factors.

conclusionOur results suggest that hESC-MSC-CM could promote neurogenesis and protect brain tissue from ischemic injury, partly mediated by induction of angiogenesis and neurotrophic factors and inhibition of inflammatory and apoptotic factors expression.
