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
backgroundRecent technology developed by Tulip Medical Products allows clinicians to mechanically disaggregate fat tissue into small fat particles known as nanofat. The present study aimed to evaluate the cell yield obtained from nanofat generation in comparison to traditional methods involving enzymatic dissociation (stromal vascular fraction).
methodsNanofat preparations were characterized by cell content and viability, based on DNA quantification and image cytometry, respectively. DNA analysis was also used to determine the cell content in unprocessed dry lipoaspirate and native adipose tissue (excised adipose tissue). To evaluate cell yield, the authors compared the number of cells recovered from 1 g of lipoaspirate between stromal vascular fraction and nanofat preparations, and subsequently determined the final cell inoculum obtained following their respective protocols.
resultsThe data showed that nanofat samples presented a cell burden of 7.3 million cells/g, close to 80 percent of unprocessed dry lipoaspirate, and 70 percent of native excised adipose tissue. Moreover, cell viability was not altered by mechanical disaggregation in nanofat samples compared to unprocessed dry lipoaspirate. Nanofat samples exhibited a cell yield of 6.63 million cells/g lipoaspirate, whereas stromal vascular fraction preparations resulted in only 0.68 million cells/g lipoaspirate. The final cell inoculum obtained from stromal vascular fraction isolation was 120 million cells and it required 200 to 250 cc of raw lipoaspirate as starting material, whereas nanofat preparation resulted in 125 million cells with only 20 cc of raw lipoaspirate.
conclusionMechanical disaggregation offers a better cell inoculum than conventional enzymatic dissociation methods by using 10 times less fat tissue as starting material and delivering a higher cell yield.
