HEMA 3 Staining: A Simple Alternative for the Assessment of Myoblast Differentiation.
Article in Current protocols in stem cell biology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Skeletal muscle tissue regeneration requires quiescent satellite cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation. Regenerative capacity of satellite cells can be studied in vitro by differentiating under low-serum conditions (2% to 5%) to form multinucleated myotubes. Myotubes are fixed and stained, and indices of differentiation are quantified. Jenner and Giemsa stains are typically used for myotube staining; however, this staining process can be variable depending on factors such as stain pH, staining time, and time since stain preparation. This article includes protocols for myoblast isolation, proliferation, and differentiation in vitro; Jenner-Giemsa staining; HEMA 3 staining; and quantification. Representative images using each staining method and quantification are included. The protocols identify critical steps and considerations for cell culture and each staining method and provide an even simpler alternative to Jenner-Giemsa staining. © 2019 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
