Successful fishing for nucleus pulposus progenitor cells of the intervertebral disc across species.
Article in JOR spine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 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
backgroundRecently, Tie2/TEK receptor tyrosine kinase (Tie2 or syn. angiopoietin-1 receptor) positive nucleus pulposus progenitor cells were detected in human, cattle, and mouse. These cells show remarkable multilineage differentiation capacity and direct correlation with intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration and are therefore an interesting target for regenerative strategies. Nevertheless, there remains controversy over the presence and function of these Tie2 PURPOSE: Here, we present a comprehensive protocol for sorting of Tie2
methodsWe present flow cytometry protocols to isolate the Tie2
resultsOur protocols are efficient towards labeling and isolation of Tie2
conclusionsCurrent identification of Tie2
