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
It was hypothesized that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could provide necessary trophic factors when seeded onto the surfaces of commonly used nerve graft substitutes. We aimed to determine the gene expression of MSCs when influenced by Avance® Nerve Grafts or NeuraGen® Nerve Guides. Human adipose-derived MSCs were cultured and dynamically seeded onto 30 Avance® Nerve Grafts and 30 NeuraGen® Nerve Guides for 12 hours. At six time points after seeding, quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses were performed for five samples per group. Neurotrophic [nerve growth factor (NGF), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), pleiotrophin (PTN), growth associated protein 43 (GAP43) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)], myelination [peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) and myelin protein zero (MPZ)], angiogenic [platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM1/CD31) and vascular endothelial cell growth factor alpha (VEGFA)], extracellular matrix (ECM) [collagen type alpha I (COL1A1), collagen type alpha III (COL3A1), Fibulin 1 (FBLN1) and laminin subunit beta 2 (LAMB2)] and cell surface marker cluster of differentiation 96 (CD96) gene expression was quantified. Unseeded Avance® Nerve Grafts and NeuraGen® Nerve Guides were used to evaluate the baseline gene expression, and unseeded MSCs provided the baseline gene expression of MSCs. The interaction of MSCs with the Avance® Nerve Grafts led to a short-term upregulation of neurotrophic (NGF, GDNF and BDNF), myelination (PMP22 and MPZ) and angiogenic genes (CD31 and VEGFA) and a long-term upregulation of BDNF, VEGFA and COL1A1. The interaction between MSCs and the NeuraGen® Nerve Guide led to short term upregulation of neurotrophic (NGF, GDNF and BDNF) myelination (PMP22 and MPZ), angiogenic (CD31 and VEGFA), ECM (COL1A1) and cell surface (CD96) genes and long-term upregulation of neurotrophic (GDNF and BDNF), angiogenic (CD31 and VEGFA), ECM genes (COL1A1, COL3A1, and FBLN1) and cell surface (CD96) genes. Analysis demonstrated MSCs seeded onto NeuraGen® Nerve Guides expressed significantly higher levels of neurotrophic (PTN), angiogenic (VEGFA) and ECM (COL3A1, FBLN1) genes in the long term period compared to MSCs seeded onto Avance® Nerve Grafts. Overall, the interaction between human MSCs and both nerve graft substitutes resulted in a significant upregulation of the expression of numerous genes important for nerve regeneration over time. The in vitro interaction of MSCs with the NeuraGen® Nerve Guide was more pronounced, particularly in the long term period (> 14 days after seeding). These results suggest that MSC-seeding has potential to be applied in a clinical setting, which needs to be confirmed in future in vitro and in vivo research.
