Circulating endothelial progenitor cells in small-diameter artificial blood vessel.
Review in Journal of artificial organs : the official journal of the Japanese Society for Artificial Organs, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
In the tissue engineering research field, the presence of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in the peripheral blood of adults represents a promising cell source to grow autologous endothelium on blood-contacting devices. Materials functionalized with EPC-specific molecules are an intriguing strategy to induce the homing and differentiation of the trapped EPCs into endothelial cells to generate a non-thrombogenic surface. Although the EPCs have been identified in adult peripheral blood about 30 years ago, in the subsequent literatures, the term "EPCs" has encompassed different cell populations with a mixed ability to contribute to the formation of blood vessels. This confusion is due to limited functional characterization of "EPCs", an improper nomenclature, and the poorly standardized protocols. This review will screen the literature about "EPCs" to propose a specific nomenclature, phenotypic characterization, and, eventually, a protocol to perform reliable experiments.
