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

aimsThe therapeutic potential of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADSCs) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is well established, yet the mechanisms underlying their immunoregulatory effects remain unclear. Ginsenoside Rg1 has been shown to enhance the immunomodulatory properties of ADSCs. Given the key role of macrophages in IBD pathogenesis, this study aimed to explore whether mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), particularly following Rg1 pretreatment, alleviate colitis by modulating macrophage immunometabolism. MAIN

methodsIn vitro experiments were performed in RAW264.7 macrophages and NCM460 cell. In vivo experiments were performed in C57BL/6 mice. KEY

findingsRg1 pretreatment upregulated stemness-related genes and downregulated immunogenic markers in ADSCs. In vivo, Rg1-preconditioned ADSCs significantly alleviated DSS-induced colitis and inhibited M1 macrophage polarization by reducing glycolytic activity. Mechanistically, ADSC-derived exosomes delivered miRNAs that suppressed glycolysis and RAS signaling in macrophages, thereby limiting pro-inflammatory polarization and ameliorating colitis. This miRNA is presumed to be miR-574-3p. SIGNIFICANCE: MSCs alleviate experimental colitis by modulating macrophage immunometabolism, and Rg1 pretreatment further enhances this therapeutic potential. This effect may involve exosomal miRNAs that inhibit macrophage glycolysis by suppressing the RAS pathway, one of which is predicted to be miR-574-3p. These results suggest a possible metabolic mechanism underlying MSC-based immunotherapy for ulcerative colitis.
