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

Stable and sustainable stem cell sources for stem cell-based therapies are scarce and a key bottleneck for clinical applications. The regenerative potential of stem cells is usually attributed to several allogeneic or even autologous donor-related factors. Genetic background and epigenetic variations in different individuals may significantly affect the functional heterogeneity of stem cells. Particularly, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been implicated in diseases with monogenetic or multifactorial and complex genetic etiologies. However, the possible effects of individual SNPs on donor stem cells remain far from fully elucidated. In this Perspective, we will discuss the roles played by donor genetic traits in the functional heterogeneity of induced pluripotent stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and hematopoietic stem cells and their implications for regenerative medicine and therapy.
