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

Skeletal muscle fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are tissue-resident connective tissue cells and the main cellular source of pathological fibro-fatty scar associated with muscle disorders. Although our knowledge about skeletal muscle mesenchymal progenitor cells has exploded in the past decade, we still lack information about their origin, fate, gene regulation, function, and stemness. A recent study by Underhill and colleagues, published in Cell Stem Cell, described the last census of Hic1 mesenchymal progenitor/stem cells in skeletal muscle regeneration, providing valuable results and data to the ever-expanding community of scientists interested in tissue regeneration and fibrosis. This commentary contextualizes and summarizes these exciting new findings.
