1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 highly heterogeneous characteristics of Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) may be responsible for the poor clinical outcomes and poor reproducibility of treatments based on WJ-MSCs. Exploration of WJ-MSC heterogeneity with multimodal single-cell technologies will aid in establishing accurate MSC subtyping and developing screening protocols for dominant functional subpopulations. Here, the characteristics of WJ-MSCs are systematically analyzed by single cell and spatial transcriptome sequencing. Single-cell transcriptomics analysis identifies four WJ-MSC subpopulations, namely proliferative_MSCs, niche-supporting_MSCs, metabolism-related_MSCs and biofunctional-type_MSCs. Furthermore, the transcriptome, cellular heterogeneity, and cell-state trajectories of these subpopulations are characterized. Intriguingly, the biofunctional-type MSCs (marked by S100A9, CD29, and CD142) selected in this study exhibit promising wound repair properties in vitro and in vivo. Finally, by integrating omics data, it has been found that the S100A9
