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
Background: After peripheral nerve injury, Schwann cells proliferate and migrate to the injured site, thereby promoting peripheral nerve regeneration. The process is regulated by various factors. Endothelial cells participate in the process via angiogenesis. However, the effects of endothelial cells on Schwann cells are not yet known. The present study sought to evaluate whether endothelial cells accelerate Schwann cell proliferation and migration. Methods: We established a co-culture model of rat Schwann cells (RSC96s) and rat aortic endothelial cells (RAOECs), and studied the effects of endothelial cells on Schwann cells by evaluating changes in Schwann cell proliferation and migration and related multiple genes and their protein expressions in the co-culture model. Results: The results showed that increasing the proportion of endothelial cells in the co-culture model enhanced the proliferation. At days 1 and 3 following the co-culturing, the relative growth rates of the co-cultured cells were 122.87% and 127.37%, respectively, which showed a significant increase in the viability compared to that of the RSC96s (P<0.05). In this process, the expression of Ki67 increased. The migration ability of Schwann cells was also enhanced. The migration capacity of Schwann cells was detected by wound-healing and Transwell assays. The results of the group with 15% of endothelial cells was significantly higher than the results of the other groups (P<0.0001 and P<0.05, respectively). Further, neuregulin 1 and glial fibrillary acidic protein increased the process of Schwann cell migration. Conclusions: The results showed that endothelial cells can promote the proliferation and migration of Schwann cells and participate in peripheral nerve regeneration.
