Endothelial Colony-Forming Cells Do Not Participate to Fibrogenesis in a Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis Model in Nude Mice.
Article in Stem cell reviews and reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating lung disease characterized by fibroblast proliferation, extracellular matrix deposition, destruction of pulmonary alveolar architecture and vascular remodeling. Apart pirfenidone or nintendanib that only slow down the fibrotic process, there is no curative treatment other than lung transplantation. Because cell therapy approaches have been proposed in IPF, we hypothesized that injection of endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs), the vasculogenic subtype of endothelial progenitor cells, could modulate fibrosis in a Nude mouse model of bleomycin induced-pulmonary fibrosis. Mice were injected with ECFCs isolated from cord blood and from peripheral blood of adult IPF patients at two time-points: during the development of the fibrosis or once the fibrosis was constituted. We assessed morbidity, weight variation, collagen deposition, lung imaging by microCT, Fulton score and microvascular density. Neither ECFCs isolated from cord blood nor from IPF patients were able to modulate fibrosis or vascular density during fibrogenesis or when fibrosis was constituted. These findings indicate that human ECFCs do not promote an adaptive regenerative response in the lung upon fibrosis or angiogenic process in the setting of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in Nude mice.
