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
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are a useful cell source for cardiac regeneration by stem cell therapy. In this study, we show that incorporation of gold-coated microspheres into hESC-derived embryoid bodies (EBs) enhances the cardiomyogenic differentiation process of pluripotent embryonic stem cells. A polycaprolactone (PCL) microsphere surface was coated with gold. Either gold-coated PCL microspheres (AuMS) or PCL microspheres (MS) were incorporated into hESC-derived EBs. AuMS and MS were not cytotoxic. AuMS promoted the expression of genes for mesodermal and cardiac mesodermal lineage cells, both of which are intermediates in the process of cardiac differentiation of hESCs on day 4 and the expression of cardiomyogenic differentiation markers on day 14 compared to MS. AuMS also enhanced gene expression of cardiac-specific extracellular matrices. Incorporation of gold-coated MS into hESC-derived EBs may provide a new platform for inducing cardiomyogenic differentiation of pluripotent embryonic stem cells.
