Most current studies are in animals, and less in humans, and the optimal transplantation strategy for MSCs is still controversial. In this article, we explore the optimal transplantation strategy of MSCs through a network meta-analysis of the effects of MSCs on SCI in animal models. PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), and Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System (SinoMed) databases were searched by computer for randomized controlled studies on MSCs for SCI. Two investigators independently completed the literature screening and data extraction based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RevMan 5.4 software was used to assess the quality of the included literature. Stata 16.0 software was used for standard meta-analysis and network meta-analysis. Standardized mean difference (SMD) was used for continuous variables to combine the statistics and calculate 95% confidence interval (95% CI). P &lt; 0.05 was considered a statistically significant difference. Cochrane\u2019s Q test and the I\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    value were used to indicate the magnitude of heterogeneity. A random-effects model was used if I\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    &gt; 50% and P &lt; 0.10 indicated significant heterogeneity between studies, and conversely, a fixed-effects model was used. Evidence network diagrams were drawn based on direct comparisons between various interventions. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve area (SUCRA) was used to predict the ranking of the treatment effects of each intervention. A total of 32 animal studies were included in this article for analysis. The results of the standard meta-analysis showed that MSCs improved motor ability after SCI. The network meta-analysis showed that the best treatment effect was achieved for adipose tissue\u2013derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADMSCs) in terms of cell source and intrathecal (IT) in terms of transplantation modality. For transplantation timing, the best treatment effect was achieved when transplantation was performed in the subacute phase. The available literature suggests that IT transplantation using ADMSCs in the subacute phase may be the best transplantation strategy to improve functional impairment after SCI. Future high-quality studies are still needed to further validate the results of this study to ensure the reliability of the results.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/09636897241262992","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,24]],"date-time":"2024-06-24T03:08:43Z","timestamp":1719198523000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Spinal Cord Injury in Rat Models: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Yueying","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Rehabilitation Medicine, Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jinan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-6831-0515","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yi","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jinan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chenchen","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Neck, Shoulder, Lumbago and Leg Pain Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00345-018-2301-z"},{"key":"bibr2-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/jir.S329864"},{"key":"bibr3-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms23105622"},{"key":"bibr4-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/09636897241241998"},{"key":"bibr5-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10143-018-1008-3"},{"key":"bibr6-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/tme.0000000000000428"},{"key":"bibr7-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms21207533"},{"key":"bibr8-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/5584_2020_595"},{"key":"bibr9-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/156652412800619950"},{"key":"bibr10-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biopha.2022.114011"},{"key":"bibr11-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12307\/2024.145"},{"key":"bibr12-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13287-020-02090-y"},{"key":"bibr13-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11033-024-09503-8"},{"key":"bibr14-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18632\/aging.202399"},{"key":"bibr15-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3727\/096368917x695038"},{"key":"bibr16-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neulet.2016.11.032"},{"key":"bibr17-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2288-14-43"},{"key":"bibr18-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fnins.2022.1082383"},{"key":"bibr19-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3969\/j.issn.1004-406X.2006.12.018"},{"key":"bibr20-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3969\/j.issn.1000-7547.2007.06.013"},{"key":"bibr21-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3760\/j.issn:1001-9030.2007.06.015"},{"issue":"5","key":"bibr22-09636897241262992","volume":"21","author":"Wu J","year":"2007","journal-title":"Chin J Reparative Reconstr Surg"},{"key":"bibr23-09636897241262992","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3321\/j.issn:1673-8225.2008.51.006"},{"key":"bibr24-09636897241262992","volume":"24","author":"Huang JP","year":"2009","journal-title":"Chin J Rehabil Med"},{"key":"bibr25-09636897241262992","unstructured":"Khalatbary AR, Tiraihi T.
