Human synovial mesenchymal stem cells show time-dependent morphological changes and increased adhesion to degenerated porcine cartilage.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 possibility that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can adhere to partial defects or degenerative areas in cartilage remains to be established. The purposes of the present study were to verify the adhesion of synovial MSCs to degenerated cartilage, the time course of that adhesion, and the morphological changes that MSCs might undergo during the adhesion process. The surface of pig cartilage was abraded, and a human synovial MSC suspension was placed on the abraded surface. The proportion/number of MSCs that adhered to the cartilage was quantified by counting non-adhered MSCs, measuring the fluorescence intensity of DiI-labeled MSCs, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations. The presence of microspikes or pseudopodia on the MSCs that adhered to the cartilage was also evaluated. SEM confirmed the adhesion of synovial MSCs to degenerated cartilage. The three independent quantification methods confirmed increases in the proportion/number of adhered MSCs within 10 s of placement and over time up to 24 h. The MSCs that adhered at 10 s had a high proportion of microspikes, whereas those that adhered after 1 h had that of pseudopodia. MSCs showed time-dependent morphological changes and increased adhesion to degenerated cartilage after placement of the human synovial MSC suspension.
