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
Human endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (hEMSCs) have been shown to promote neo-vascularization; however, its angiogenic function lessens with age. To determine the optimal conditions for maximizing hEMSC angiogenic capacity, we examined the effects of serial passaging on hEMSC activity. hEMSCs were cultured from passages (P) 3, 6, 9, and 12, and analyzed for proliferation, migration, differentiation and senescence, as well as their capacity to induce angiogenesis. The results showed that hEMSC proliferation and migration significantly decreased after P12. Furthermore, hEMSC differentiation into adipogenic and osteogenic lineages, as well as their proangiogenic capacity, gradually decreased from P9-12, while senescence only occurred after P12. Evaluation of angiogenic-related protein levels showed that both transforming growth factor β2 and Tie-2 was significantly reduced in hEMSCs at P12, compared to P3, possibly serving as the basis behind their lowered angiogenic capacity. Furthermore, in vivo angiogenesis evaluation with Matrigel plug assay showed that the optimal hEMSC to HUVEC ratio, for maximizing vessel formation, was 1:4. This study showed that hEMSC passaging was associated with lowered cellular functioning, bringing them closer to a senescent phenotype, especially after P12, thereby defining the optimal time period for cultivating fully functional hEMSCs for therapeutic applications.
