Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Autoimmune Disorders.
Review in Stem cell reviews and reports, 2023. 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
Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were first described in 1997 by Asahara et al. as "putative endothelial cells" from human peripheral blood. The study of endothelial progenitors is also intensifying in several pathologies associated with endothelial damage, including diabetes, myocardial infarction, sepsis, pulmonary arterial hypertension, obstructive bronchopneumopathy and transplantation. EPCs have been studied in several autoimmune diseases with endothelial involvement such as systemic lupus erythematosus, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, vasculitis, rheumatoid arthritis, Goujerot-Sjögren and antiphospholipid syndrome. Factors involved in endothelial damage are due to overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and/or autoantibodies. Management of these pathologies, particularly the long-term use of glucocorticoids and methotrexate, promote atherosclerosis. A lack of standardized assessment of the number and function of EPCs represents a serious challenge for the use of EPCs as prognostic markers of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The objective of this review was to describe EPCs, their properties and their involvement in several autoimmune diseases.
