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

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising therapy to potentially treat diabetes given their potent anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory properties. While these regenerative cells have shown considerable promise in cell culture, their clinical translation has been challenging. In part, this can be attributed to these cells not reaching the pancreas to exert their regenerative effects following conventional intravenous (IV) injection, with the majority of cells being trapped in the lungs in the pulmonary first-pass effect. In the present study, we will therefore examine whether direct delivery of MSCs to the pancreas via an intra-arterial (IA) injection can improve their therapeutic efficacy. Using a mouse model, in which repetitive low doses of STZ induced a gentle, but progressive, hyperglycemia, we tested bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) which we have shown are enriched with pro-angiogenic and immunomodulatory factors. In cell culture studies, BM-MSCs were shown to preserve islet viability and function following exposure to proinflammatory cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-1β, and TNF-α) through an increase in pAkt. When tested in our animal model, mice receiving IV BM-MSCs were not able to mitigate the effects of STZ, however those which received the same dose and batch of cells via IA injection were able to maintain basal and dynamic glycemic control, to similar levels as seen in healthy control animals, over 10 days. This study shows the importance of considering precision delivery approaches to ensure cell-based therapies reach their intended targets to enable them to exert their therapeutic effects.
