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 stromal cells (MSC) are adult stem cells, which feature hepatotropism by supporting liver regeneration through amelioration of hepatic inflammation and lipid accumulation in a mouse model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a more advanced stage of fatty liver. It remains open, how MSC impact on hepatocytic lipid metabolism. To study MSC actions on fatty liver mechanistically, we established an in vitro model of co-culture comprising MSC and isolated mouse hepatocytes at a ratio of 1:1. Lipid storage in hepatocytes was induced by the treatment with medium deficiency of methionine and choline (MCD). The protocol can be adapted for the use of other lipid storage-inducing agents such as palmitic acid and linoleic acid. This co-culture model allows to study, e.g., whether MSC act indirectly via MSC-born paracrine mechanisms or through direct physical interactions between cells beside others. The protocol allows us to detect the formation of extensions (filopodia) from MSC to contact the fatty hepatocytes or other MSC within 24 h of co-culture. These structures may represent tunneling nanotubes (TNT), allowing for long-range intercellular communication.
