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
backgroundSca-1 is controversial as a mammary stem cell marker in the literature, which may be due to the different isolation protocols and culture media used in different laboratories. The object of our study is to establish the Medium to promote the proliferation of mammary stem cell and explore the possibility of Sca-1 as mammary stem cell marker.
methodsWe used BM medium supplemented with different concentration of 17Β-oestradiol and GH to find out MaECM medium which promoted the proliferation of mouse mammary epithelial cells and inhibited the growth of fibroblasts. Flow cytometry was used to isolate Sca-1(+) and Sca-1(-) cell populations from cultured mammary epithelial cells. Mammary fat pad transplantation and Mammosphere- forming assay were done to confirm the stem cell potential of Sca-1(+) cells. Differentiating culture was used to detect the differentiation potential of Sca-1(+) cells. Real-time PCR was carried out to analyse the expression of mammary stem cell-related genes in Sca-1(+) cells.
resultsWe first selected the medium suitable for mammary stem cell growth. Stem cell medium BM was used to culture mammary organoids, which generated many fibroblasts. We established MaECM medium supplemented with oestrogen and growth hormone (GH), in which oestrogen promoted mammary epithelial cell proliferation and inhibited fibroblast growth, and GH obviously enhanced the effect of oestrogen on mammary epithelial cell proliferation. Flow cytometry showed that 50% of cells were Sca-1(+) under the culture of MaECM medium. We confirmed that Sca-1(+) cells regenerated mammary outgrowths when transplanted in vivo, formed mammospheres in vitro and differentiated into luminal epithelial cells with milk-secreting function and myoepithelial cells under Matrigel culture. Furthermore, gene expression analysis by Real-time PCR revealed that Sca-1(+) cells expressed markedly higher levels of mammary stem cell-related genes in comparison to Sca-1(-) cells.
conclusionOur research demonstrates that Sca-1(+) mammary stem cells can be more easily isolated when cultured in the presence of oestrogen and GH.
