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
Function and dysfunction of endothelial cells are regulated by a multitude of factors. Endothelial cell research often requires in vitro cell culture experiments. Hence, various culture media specifically designed to promote endothelial cell growth are available. These strikingly differ in their composition: complex media contain endothelial cell growth supplement (ECGS), an extract produced of bovine brain with undefined amounts of biologically active compounds, whilst defined media contain selected growth factors in defined concentrations. We here compared the effect of seven purchasable endothelial cell culture media on colony outgrowth, proliferation, viability, in vitro angiogenesis and phenotype of mature primary human endothelial cells using feto-placental endothelial cells isolated from chorionic arteries (fpEC). The effect of media on colony outgrowth was additionally tested on umbilical cord blood-derived endothelial progenitor cells (ECFCs). Outgrowth, purity, proliferation and viability differed between media. Outgrowth of fpEC and ECFCs was best in a defined medium containing EGF, FGF2 and VEGF. By contrast, established fpEC isolations proliferated best in complex media containing ECGS, heparin and ascorbic acid. Also viability of cells was higher in complex media. In vitro angiogenesis was most intense in a defined medium containing the highest number of individual growth factors. FACS analysis of surface markers for endothelial cell subtypes revealed that endothelial phenotype of fpEC was unaffected by media composition. Our data demonstrate the fundamental effect of endothelial cell culture media on primary cell isolation success and behaviour. Whether the composition of supplements is suitable also for individual experiments needs to be tested specifically.
