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

Mesenchymal stem cells from the synovium (synovial MSCs) are attractive for cartilage and meniscus regeneration therapy. We developed a software program that can distinguish individual colonies and automatically count the cell number per colony using time-lapse images. In this study, we investigated the usefulness of the software and analyzed colony formation in cultured synovial MSCs. Time-lapse image data were obtained for 14-day-expanded human synovial MSCs. The cell number per colony (for 145 colonies) was automatically counted from phase-contrast and nuclear-stained images. Colony growth curves from day 1 to day 14 (for 140 colonies) were classified using cluster analysis. Correlation analysis of the distribution of the cell number per colony at 14 days versus that number at 1-14 days revealed a correlation at 7 and 14 days. We obtained accurate cell number counts from phase-contrast images. Individual colony growth curves were classified into three main groups and subgroups. Our image analysis software has the potential to improve the evaluation of cell proliferation and to facilitate successful clinical applications using MSCs.
