Microenergy acoustic pulses induced myogenesis of urethral striated muscle stem/progenitor cells.
Article in Translational andrology and urology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundStress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common disorder with high prevalence in women across their life span, but there are no non-surgical curative options for the condition. Stem cell-based therapy, especially endogenous stem cell therapy may be a potential treatment method for SUI. The aims of this study are to identify, isolate, and assay the function of urethral striated muscle derived stem/progenitor cells (uMDSCs) and to assess uMDSC response to microenergy acoustic pulses (MAP).
methodsUrethral striated muscle was identified utilizing 3D imaging of solvent organs (3DISCO) and immunofluorescence (IF). uMDSCs were isolated and purified from Zucker Lean (ZL) (ZUC-LEAN) (ZUC-Leprfa 186) rats, with magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) and pre-plating methods. The stemness and differentiation potential of the uMDSCs were measured by cell proliferation, EdU, flow cytometry, IF, and Western blot.
resultsComparison of the cell proliferation assays between MACS and pre-plating reveals the advantage of MACS over pre-plating. In addition, the study reveals that uMDSCs form myotubes when treated with MAP.
conclusionsThe uMDSCs within female rat urethral striated muscle could be a therapeutic target of MAP in managing SUI.
