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

Amniotic fluid-derived products are a promising resource for cell therapy and tissue engineering due to their anti-inflammatory, angiogenic, and antifibrotic properties. Human amniotic fluid (hAF) has been used in medical applications such as wound healing, skin disorders, and ophthalmic conditions. Recently, we demonstrated that hAF is an effective treatment for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in adult rats. However, the protein composition of full-term acellular hAF has remained poorly characterized. To uncover the biologically active components underlying hAF's cardioprotective effects, we conducted a global proteomic analysis of hAF collected from six patients at full-term cesarean sections. Previously shown to improve cardiac function in ischemic rats, these samples were analyzed by using tandem mass spectrometry. We identified 657 proteins, including 148 unique to the deep learning platform Inferys. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that these proteins are involved in immunity, inflammatory responses, cell adhesion, and apoptotic signaling pathways. In addition, these proteins were highly modified, with methylation and deamidation being the most abundant modifications. This study represents the first mass-spectrometry-based characterization of full-term, acellular hAF, suggesting that hAF offers a wide array of immune-modulating proteins working together to provide robust cardioprotection and a valuable treatment for ischemia-reperfusion injury.
