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

backgroundSevere Acute Pancreatitis (SAP) is a critical gastrointestinal inflammatory disease. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), multipotent cells exhibiting diverse biological properties including directional migration, paracrine signaling, immunosuppression, and anti-inflammatory effects. Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are particularly valuable in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Previous studies have demonstrated that ADSCs can mitigate pancreatic damage during acute pancreatitis (AP). However, given the complexity of SAP pathophysiology, which involves a dysregulated systemic inflammatory response and multiorgan failure, the therapeutic differences and underlying mechanisms of ADSCs derived from distinct harvesting sites.

methodsThe SAP rat model was created by retrograde injection of a 4% sodium taurocholate (NaT) solution into the pancreatic duct. Rats were divided into six groups: Sham, SAP, 6 h subcutaneous ADSCs, 12 h subcutaneous ADSCs, 6 h peripancreatic ADSCs, and 12 h peripancreatic ADSCs. A total of 1 × 10

resultsADSCs from distinct harvesting site significantly attenuated inflammation in SAP rats and cell models. Compared to the SAP group, ADSCs treatment significantly lowered amylase, lipase, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels in serum and supernatants, accompanied by decrease in pancreatic histopathological scores. In vivo imaging demonstrated that peripancreatic ADSCs exhibited a 2.3-fold increase in pancreatic homing efficiency compared with subcutaneous ADSCs. Notably, 6 h peripancreatic ADSCs group showed superior therapeutic efficacy compared to other ADSCs treated rats and cell models. The therapeutic effect of ADSCs in SAP was mediated through the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathways.

conclusionADSCs reduced SAP-induced pancreatic injury and inflammation by targeting NF-κB/NLRP3/Caspase-1 pathways. Early intervention with peripancreatic ADSCs demonstrated superior therapeutic efficacy, emphasizing the importance of source selection and timing of intervention.
