1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

We modified an existing protocol to develop a more efficient method to acquire and culture muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) and compared the characteristics of cells obtained from the two methods. This method is based on currently used multistep enzymatic digestion and preplate technique. During the replating process, we replaced the traditional medium with isolation medium to promote fibroblast-like cell adherence at initial replating step, which shortened the purifying duration by up to 4 days. Moreover, we modified the culture container to provide a stable microenvironment that promotes MDSC adherence. We compared the cell morphology, growth curve and the expression of specific markers (Sca-1, CD34, PAX7 and Desmin) between the two cell groups separately obtained from the two methods. Afterwards, we compared the neural differentiation capacity of MDSCs with other muscle-derived cell lineages. The protocol developed here is a fast and effective method to harvest and purify MDSCs from mice limb skeletal muscle.
