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

backgroundPrion diseases are characterized by accumulation of misfolded host prion proteins (PrP

methodsFor this study, we analyzed the properties of AdMSCs isolated from mice infected with the ME7 scrapie strain and compared them with negative controls. We investigated morphology, viability, immunophenotyping, markers of inflammation, migration activity, and neurotrophic factors. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) was performed to identify transcriptome profile changes.

resultsAdMSCs derived from ME7-infected mice displayed immunophenotypes similar to cells from negative controls, but they were larger with lower viability (p < 0.05). ME7 infection caused higher expression of inflammatory mediators CCL5, TNF-α, C3, and IL6 (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01) and low expression of the stem cell marker, CXCR4 (p < 0.05) which was confirmed by immunofluorescence staining. The results showed decreased migration activity and wound closure ability of AdMSCs isolated from ME7-infected mice as confirmed by Transwell migration and scratch wound assays (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001), respectively. The RNA-Seq results detected 367 differentially expressed genes between AdMSCs from ME7-infected mice and those from the negative controls, and negative regulation of locomotion, extracellular matrix (ECM) organization, collagen-containing ECM, and extracellular structure organization genes were common in AdMSCs from ME7-infected mice. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that pathways enriched in AdMSCs from ME7-infected mice included those involved in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, cell adhesion, protein digestion and absorption, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions. Interestingly, genes related to the regulation of iron storage, such as Hp and hepcidin, were upregulated in AdMSCs isolated from ME7-infected mice.

conclusionsBased on these data, therapeutic strategies for AdMSCs in prion disease should be further investigated.
