Metabolic Profile and Neurogenic Potential of Human Amniotic Fluid Stem Cells From Normal vs. Fetus-Affected Gestations.
Article in Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 amniotic fluid stem cells (hAFSCs) possess some characteristics with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and embryonic stem cells and have a broader differentiation potential compared to MSCs derived from other sources. Although hAFSCs are widely researched, their analysis mainly involves stem cells (SCs) obtained from normal, fetus-unaffected gestations. However, in clinical settings, knowledge about hAFSCs from normal gestations could be poorly translational, as hAFSCs from healthy and fetus-diseased gestations may differ in their differentiation and metabolic potential. Therefore, a more thorough investigation of hAFSCs derived from pathological gestations would provide researchers with the knowledge about the general characteristics of these cells that could be valuable for further scientific investigations and possible future clinical applicability. The goal of this study was to look into the neurogenic and metabolic potential of hAFSCs derived from diseased fetuses, when gestations were concomitant with polyhydramnios and compare them to hAFSCs derived from normal fetuses. Results demonstrated that these cells are similar in gene expression levels of stemness markers (
