Bioreactor Parameters for Microcarrier-Based Human MSC Expansion under Xeno-Free Conditions in a Vertical-Wheel System.
Article in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
Human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (hMSCs) have been investigated and proven to be a well-tolerated, safe therapy for a variety of indications, as shown by over 900 registered hMSC-based clinical trials. To meet the commercial demand for clinical manufacturing of hMSCs, production requires a scale that can achieve a lot size of ~100B cells, which requires innovative manufacturing technologies such as 3D bioreactors. A robust suspension bioreactor process that can be scaled-up to the relevant scale is therefore crucial. In this study, we developed a fed-batch, microcarrier-based bioreactor process, which enhances media productivity and drives a cost-effective and less labor-intensive hMSC expansion process. We determined parameter settings for various stages of the culture: inoculation, bioreactor culture, and harvest. Addition of a bioreactor feed, using a fed-batch approach, was necessary to replenish the mitogenic factors that were depleted from the media within the first 3 days of culture. Our study resulted in an optimized hMSC culture protocol that consistently achieved hMSC densities between 2 × 10
