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

Adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragments (MVF) are used as vascularization units in tissue engineering. In this study, we investigated whether the vascularization capacity of MVF can be improved by systemic low-dose erythropoietin (EPO) administration. MVF were isolated from the epididymal fat of donor mice and seeded onto collagen-glycosaminoglycan matrices, which were implanted into full-thickness skin defects within dorsal skinfold chambers of recipient mice. Both donor and recipient mice were treated daily with either EPO (500 IU/kg) or vehicle (0.9% NaCl). The implants were analyzed by stereomicroscopy, intravital fluorescence microscopy, histology, and immunohistochemistry. EPO-treated MVF contained a comparable number of proliferating Ki67
