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
backgroundThe use of stem cells, growth factors, and scaffolds to repair damaged tissues is a new idea in tissue engineering. The aim of the present study is the investigation of Avocado/soybean (A/S) effects on chondrogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) in micromass culture to access cartilage tissue with high quality. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this an experimental study After hADSCs characterization, chondrogenic differentiation was induced using transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) (10 ng/ml) and different concentrations (5, 10, and 20 μg/ml) of A/S in micromass culture. The efficiency of A/S on specific gene expression (types I, II, and X collagens, SOX9, and aggrecan) was evaluated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. In addition, histological study was done using hematoxylin and eosin and toluidine blue staining all data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and
resultsThe results of this study indicated that A/S can promote chondrogenic differentiation in a dose-dependent manner. In particular, 5 ng/ml A/S showed the highest expression of type II collagen, SOX9, and aggrecan which are effective and important markers in chondrogenic differentiation. In addition, the expression of types I and X collagens which are hypertrophic and fibrous factors in chondrogenesis is lower in present of 5 ng/ml A/S compared with TGF-β1 group (
conclusionIt can be concluded that A/S similar to TGF-β1 is able to facilitate the chondrogenic differentiation of hADSCs and do not have adverse effects of TGF-β1. Thus, TGF-β1 can be replaced by A/S in the field of tissue engineering.
