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

backgroundMesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy may be a future treatment for myocardial infarction (MI). However, few studies have assessed the therapeutic efficacy of adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ADSCs) obtained from elderly patients in comparison to that of bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMSCs) from the same elderly patients. The metabolomics results revealed a significantly higher L-arginine excretion from aged ADSCs

aimTo investigate the role of L-arginine in enhancing angiogenesis and cardiac protection by comparing ADSCs and BMSCs in hypoxic conditions for MI therapy.

methodsMetabolomic profiling of supernatants from ADSCs and BMSCs under hypoxic conditions were performed. Then, arginine succinate lyase (ASL) overexpression and short hairpin RNA plasmid were prepared and transfected into BMSCs. Subsequently,

resultsMetabolomic analysis showed that L-arginine was increased. Using

conclusionL-arginine is important for inducing therapeutic angiogenesis for ADSCs and BMSCs in hypoxic conditions. ADSCs have higher L-arginine secretion, which leads to better angiogenesis induction and cardiac protection. ADSC transplantation is a promising autologous cell therapy strategy in the context of the present aging society.
