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
backgroundA single administration of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) has been shown to reduce lung inflammation in experimental elastase-induced emphysema; however, effects were limited in terms of lung-tissue repair and cardiac function improvement. We hypothesized that two doses of MSCs could induce further lung and cardiovascular repair by mitigating inflammation and remodeling in a model of emphysema induced by multiple elastase instillations. We aimed to comparatively investigate the effects of one versus two doses of MSCs, administered 1 week apart, in a murine model of elastase-induced emphysema.
methodsC57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control (CTRL) and emphysema (E) groups. Mice in the E group received porcine pancreatic elastase (0.2 IU, 50 μL) intratracheally once weekly for four consecutive weeks; the CTRL animals received sterile saline (50 μL) using the same protocol. Three hours after the last instillation, the E group was further randomized to receive either saline (SAL) or murine MSCs (10
resultsBoth one and two doses of MSCs improved lung mechanics, reducing keratinocyte-derived chemokine and transforming growth factor-β levels in lung homogenates, total cell and macrophage counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and collagen fiber content in airways and blood vessels, as well as increasing vascular endothelial growth factor in lung homogenates and elastic fiber content in lung parenchyma. However, only the two-dose group exhibited reductions in tumor necrosis factor-α in lung tissue, BALF neutrophil and lymphocyte count, thymus weight, and total cellularity, as well as CD8
conclusionsTwo doses of MSCs enhanced lung repair and improvement in cardiac function, while inducing T cell immunosuppression, mainly of CD8
