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

Endothelial dysfunction contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes mellitus, and current strategies remain inadequate. Although mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown beneficial effects in experimental models of diabetes, underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, using a human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with high concentration of glucose (HG) and a mouse model of type 2 diabetes (db/db mice), we demonstrate MSCs could alleviate hyperglycemia-induced endothelial injury by preventing aberrant mitochondrial morphology. Mechanistically, stanniocalcin-1(STC1) was identified to be an important paracrine factor secreted by MSCs, which restrains hyperactivation of ERK1/2, thus preventing Drp1-mediated excessive mitochondrial fission, and thereby protecting against hyperglycemia-induced oxidative injury, endothelial inflammation and mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, consequently protecting endothelial dysfunction. Hence, this study reveals that MSCs-derived STC1 regulates mitochondrial dynamics remodeling through inhibiting ERK1/2-Drp1 axis and provide a therapeutic target in diabetic vasculopathy and regenerative medicine.
