Use of Multiple Doses of Intravenous Infusion of Umbilical Cord-Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Adult Patients with Severe COVID-19-Related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Literature Review.
Review in Stem cells international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objectives: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a critical complication in severe COVID-19 patients. The intravenous infusion (IVF) of umbilical cord- (UC-) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), validated to substantially reduce the release of several inflammatory cytokines Methods: We reviewed the 2020-2022 PubMed literature database concerning the clinical efficacy of IVF-UC-MSCs among severe COVID-19 patients. Results: The data of COVID-19 case series in the PubMed literature revealed a notable heterogeneity in the therapeutic dosage (a single dose: 1-10 × 10 Conclusions: According to our analysis, the ideal treatment dosage of IVF-UC-MSCs for severe COVID-19-induced ARDS is likely 5 × 10
