The Role of Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Postnatal Vasculogenesis: Implications for Therapeutic Neovascularization and Wound Healing.
Review in Advances in wound care, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 76 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
significancePostnatal vasculogenesis mediated via endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) contributes to re-endothelialization and augments neovascularization after ischemia and tissue injury, providing a novel therapeutic application. However, controversy exists with respect to the origin, identification, and contributions of the EPCs to neovascularization, necessitating further study. RECENT ADVANCES: Bone marrow (BM) or circulating cells expressing cd133/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 include those with endothelial progenitor capacity. Increasing evidence suggests that there are additional BM-derived (myeloid; mesenchymal cells) and non-BM-derived (peripheral and cord-blood; tissue-resident) cell populations which also give rise to endothelial cells (ECs) and contribute to re-endothelialization and growth factor release after ischemia and tissue injury. Currently, EPCs are being used as diagnostic markers for the assessment of cardiovascular and tumor risk/progression. Techniques aimed at enhancing CRITICAL ISSUES: Mobilization and EPC-mediated neovascularization are critically regulated. Stimulatory (growth factors, statins, and exercise) or inhibitory factors (obesity, diabetes, and other cardiovascular diseases) modulate EPC numbers and function. Recruitment and incorporation of EPCs require a coordinated sequence of signaling events, including adhesion, migration (by integrins), and chemoattraction. Finally, EPCs differentiate into ECs and/or secrete angiogenic growth factors. These cells are highly plastic, and depending on the microenvironment and presence of other cells, EPCs transdifferentiate and/or undergo cell fusion and become cells of a different lineage. Therefore, FUTURE DIRECTIONS: Advances in characterization of the EPC biology and enhancement of EPC functions are required. In addition, innovative tissue-engineered carrier matrices that permit embedding of EPCs and provide optimal conditions for EPC survival and endothelial outgrowth will further contribute to EPC-mediated therapeutic applications in wound healing and ischemia repair.
