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
Adipose tissue stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is increasingly used in the clinic. SVF separation from fat by enzymatic disruption is currently the gold standard for SVF isolation. However, enzymatic SVF isolation is time-consuming (~1.5 h), costly and significantly increases the regulatory burden of SVF isolation. Mechanical fat disruption is rapid, cheaper, and less regulatory challenging. However, its reported efficacy is insufficient for clinical use. The current study evaluated the efficacy of a novel rotating blades (RBs) mechanical SVF isolation system. Methods: SVF cells were isolated from the same lipoaspirate sample (n = 30) by enzymatic isolation, massive shaking (wash), or engine-induced RBs mechanical isolation. SVF cells were counted, characterized by flow cytometry and by their ability to form adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs). Results: The RBs mechanical approach yielded 2 × 10 Conclusions: The RBs isolation technology provided for rapid (<15 min) isolation of high-quality SVF cells in quantities similar to those obtained by enzymatic digestion. Based on the RBs platform, a closed-system medical device for SVF extraction in a rapid, simple, safe, sterile, reproducible, and cost-effective manner was designed.
