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

Stem cells from the eye hold a great potential for vision restoration and can also be used for regeneration in other tissues. In this study, we characterized the stem cell properties of Trabecular meshwork stem cells (TMSCs) after long-term cryopreservation (∼8 years). TMSCs derived from four donors were examined for their viability and proliferation, as well as stem cell marker expression. Spheroid formation, colony formation, and multipotency were investigated. We observed that TMSCs were fully viable with variable proliferation ability. They expressed the stem cell markers CD90, CD166, CD105, CD73, OCT4, SSEA4, Notch1,
