ArticleData in brief2022
Microencapsulated Sertoli cells sustain myoblast proliferation without affecting the myogenic potential.
Article in Data in brief, 2022. 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
Sertoli cells (SeC) isolated from porcine testes have shown direct effects on muscle precursor cells sustaining C2C12 myoblasts proliferation and inhibiting oxidative stress and apoptosis in the early phase of the differentiation process, and stimulating myoblast fusion into myotubes and the expression of markers of myogenic differentiation in the late phase. This suggested that the cocktail of factors secreted by SeC stimulates proliferation in myoblasts without weakening their myogenic potential resulting in the formation of the critical myoblast amount necessary to rebuild the required muscle mass upon a damage. Here, we show that co-culturing C2C12 myoblasts with high doses of SeC microencapsulated in clinical grade alginate-based microcapsules (MC-SeC) for three days in differentiation medium (DM) translates into increased cell numbers and almost absence of myotube formation. However, after removal of MC-SeC, an intense fusion activity into myotubes was observed culminating in a fusion index similar to that of control after additional three days of culture in DM. These data definitely demonstrate that SeC-derived factors preserve the myogenic potential while sustaining cell proliferation in C2C12 myoblasts.
