Fusion of bone marrow-derived stem cells with striated muscle may not be sufficient to activate muscle genes.
Article in The Journal of clinical investigation, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Several studies have demonstrated the existence of pluripotent bone marrow-derived stem cells capable of homing to injured cardiac and skeletal muscle; however, there has been little evidence demonstrating the induction of tissue-specific endogenous genes in donor stem cells following engraftment. A new study in this issue reports an intriguing finding that raises additional concerns relating to stem cell plasticity and stem cell therapy in an already heated and controversial field. The study demonstrates that wild-type bone marrow-derived side population stem cells are indeed readily incorporated into both skeletal and cardiac muscle when transplanted into mice that lack delta-sarcoglycan -- a model of cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy. However, these cells fail to express sarcoglycan and thus to repair the tissue, which suggests that this stem cell population has limited potential for cardiac and skeletal muscle regeneration.
