Molecular Network Mechanism Analysis of Urine Stem Cells Against Retinal Aging.

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
To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of human-derived urine stem cells (hUSCs) in inhibiting retinal aging by using experimental and bioinformatics. Retinal pigment epithelial cells cultured in vitro, which were randomly divided into normal group, aging group and supernatant of hUSCs group. Cell counting kit-8 detection, senescence-related β-galactosidase, and Annexin V/PI staining were performed to detect cell viability, senescence, and apoptosis. Subsequently, bioinformatics methods were used to explore the underlying mechanisms, in which, targets both hUSCs and aging retina-related targets were obtained from GeneCards. Then, Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis, and protein-protein interaction network were analysis, and the expressional level of hub gene was validated by q-PCR. Supernatant addition of hUSCs promoted markedly cellular proliferation, improved viability and inhibited senescence and apoptosis in vitro. A total of 1476 hUSCs-related targets (Relevance score > 20), 692 retinal disease-related targets, and 732 targets related to disease of aging were selected from GeneCards database, and 289 common targets of hUSCs against aging retina were confirmed through Venn analysis. Enrichment analysis demonstrated that hUSCs might exert its anti-apoptosis efficacy in multiple biological processes, including oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis, and core targets were associated with HIF-1, MAPK and PI3K-Akt signal. hUSCs inhibited retinal senescence by regulating multiply targets and signaling pathways, of these, HIF-1, MAPK, and PI3K may be important candidates.
