Are Adipose-Derived Stem Cells From Liver Falciform Ligaments Another Possible Source of Mesenchymal Stem Cells?
Article in Cell transplantation, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Falciform ligaments in the liver are surrounded by adipose tissue. We investigated the capability of adipose-derived stem cells from human liver falciform ligaments (hLF-ADSCs) to differentiate into hepatic-type cells and confirmed the functional capacity of the cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated from the liver falciform ligament and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy for liver disease. Cells were cultivated in MSC culture medium. Properties of MSCs were confirmed by flow cytometry, RT-PCR analysis, immunocytochemistry assays, and multilineage differentiation. Hepatic induction was performed using a three-step differentiation protocol with various growth factors. Morphology, capacity for expansion, and characteristics were similar between hLF-ADSCs and adipose-derived stem cells from human abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (hAS-ADSCs). However, hematopoietic- and mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET)-related surface markers (CD133, CD34, CD45, and E-cadherin) had a higher expression in hLF-ADSCs. The hepatic induction marker genes had a higher expression in hLF-ADSCs on days 7 and 10 after the hepatic induction. Albumin secretion was similar between hLF-ADSCs and hAS-ADSCs at 20 days after the hepatic induction. The hLF-ADSCs had a different pattern of surface marker expression relative to hAS-ADSCs. However, proliferation, multilineage capacity, and hepatic induction were similar between the cell types. Accordingly, it may be a useful source of MSCs for patients with liver disease.
