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
purposeTo investigate the therapeutic effect of subconjunctival injection of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) pre-stimulated bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) on ocular alkali burns in a rat model.
methodsAfter applying a 6 mm filter paper soaking in 1 N NaOH on the cornea of rats, the suspension of TNF-α pre-stimulated BMMSCs, BMMSCs and PBS were given subconjunctivally and respectively. Corneal epithelial defect, corneal opacity, inflammation as well as PTGS2 and TSG-6 expression on day 7 and fibrosis on day 14 were compared.
resultsTNF-α pre-stimulated BMMSCs group had a more predominate effect on promoting corneal epithelial repairing, decreasing corneal opacity, reducing inflammatory cells and CD68 + macrophages on day 7 and suppressing fibrosis on day 14 compared to BMMSCs group. Besides, it had significant increased expressions of PTGS2 and TSG-6 in vitro. Pre-treated with Indomethacin revealed a reverse effect on above-mentioned changes.
conclusionSubconjunctival injection of TNF-α pre-stimulated BMMSCs enhanced anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effect in ocular alkali burns, which was possibly though up regulation of PTGS2 and TSG-6 expression.
