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
Pericytes are critical for microvascular stability and maintenance, among other important physiological functions, yet their involvement in vessel formation processes remains poorly understood. To gain insight into pericyte behaviors during vascular remodeling, we developed two complementary tissue explant models utilizing 'double reporter' animals with fluorescently-labeled pericytes and endothelial cells (via Ng2:DsRed and Flk-1:eGFP genes, respectively). Time-lapse confocal imaging of active vessel remodeling within adult connective tissues and embryonic skin revealed a subset of pericytes detaching and migrating away from the vessel wall. Vessel-associated pericytes displayed rapid filopodial sampling near sprouting endothelial cells that emerged from parent vessels to form nascent branches. Pericytes near angiogenic sprouts were also more migratory, initiating persistent and directional movement along newly forming vessels. Pericyte cell divisions coincided more frequently with elongating endothelial sprouts, rather than sprout initiation sites, an observation confirmed with in vivo data from the developing mouse brain. Taken together, these data suggest that (i) pericyte detachment from the vessel wall may represent an important physiological process to enhance endothelial cell plasticity during vascular remodeling, and (ii) pericyte migration and proliferation are highly synchronized with endothelial cell behaviors during the coordinated expansion of a vascular network.
