Phenotypic, morphological, and metabolic characterization of vascular-spheres from human vascular mesenchymal stem cells.
Article in Microscopy research and technique, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The ability to form spheroids under non-adherent conditions is a well-known property of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), in addition to stemness and multilineage differentiation features. In the present study, we tested the ability of hMSCs isolated from the vascular wall (hVW-MSCs) to grow as spheres, and provide a characterization of this 3D model. hVW-MSCs were isolated from femoral arteries through enzymatic digestion. Spheres were obtained using ultra-low attachment and hanging drop methods. Immunophenotype and pluripotent genes (SOX-2, OCT-4, NANOG) were analyzed by immunocytochemistry and real-time PCR, respectively. Spheres histological and ultrastructural architecture were examined. Cell viability and proliferative capacity were measured using LIVE/DEATH assay and ki-67 proliferation marker. Metabolomic profile was obtained with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. In 2D, hVW-MSCs were spindle-shaped, expressed mesenchymal antigens, and displayed mesengenic potential. 3D cultures of hVW-MSCs were CD44
