Figure 1 The Effect of Stem Cell Mobilization by G-CSF on Change of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction
Compared with control conventional treatment, stem cell mobilization by G-CSF had no additional beneficial effect on change in left ventricular function at follow-up as shown by the weighted mean difference for change in left ventricular ejection fraction between treatment and control groups in individual trials. FIRSTLINE-AMI = Front-Integrated Revascularization and Stem Cell Liberation in Evolving Acute Myocardial Infarction trial; G-CSF = granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; G-CSF-STEMI = Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction trial; MAGIC Cell 1 = Myocardial Regeneration and Angiogenesis in Myocardial Infarction with G-CSF and Intra-Coronary Stem Cell Infusion 1 trial; REVIVAL-2 = Regenerate Vital Myocardium by Vigorous Activation of Bone Marrow Stem Cells trial; STEMMI = Stem Cells in Myocardial Infarction trial.
