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

Rotator cuff (RC) tears are a common cause of upper extremity disability. Any tear size can result in subsequent muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration (FI). Preoperative muscle degeneration can predict repair and postoperative functional outcomes. Muscle residential fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are found to be capable of differentiating into beige adipocytes that release factors to promote muscle growth. This study evaluated the regenerative potential of local cell transplantation of beige FAPs to mitigate muscle degeneration in a murine massive RC tear model. Beige FAPs were isolated from muscle in UCP-1 reporter mice by flow cytometry as UCP-1
