Matrigel: history/background, uses, and future applications.
Article in Journal of cell communication and signaling, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 92 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Basement membranes are thin sheets of extracellular matrix with many diverse roles in the body. Those in normal tissue are also highly insoluble and resist attempts to extract and characterize their components. A mouse tumor, the EHS tumor, has provided large amounts of basement membrane material, which has facilitated the structural and functional characterization of its components. An extract of the tumor, known as Matrigel, contains components which reconstitute into a solid gel at 37°. This solid basement membrane matrix has been used in both cell culture and in vivo. Matrigel has been utilized in some 12,000-plus publications for a variety of studies with embryonic, normal, and stem or malignant cells. Evidence presented in this Commentary suggests that Matrigel isolated from tumors grown in diverse hosts could exert unique effects that could be helpful in analyzing the causes of various pathologies and for screening possible therapeutic agents.
