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
Introduction: Cell transplantation is an emerging and effective therapeutic approach for enhancing uterine adhesions caused by endometrial damage. Currently, human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells (HUCBMCs) have been extensively for tissue and organ regeneration. However, their application in endometrial repair remains unexplored. Our investigation focuses on the utilization of HUCBMCs for treating endometrial injury. Methods: The HUCBMCs were isolated from health umbilical cord blood, and co-cultured with the injured endometrial stromal cells and injured endometrial organoids. The cell proliferation and apoptosis were measured by cck8 assays and flow cytometry. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of PTEN, AKT and p-AKT. Immunofluorescence assay revealed expression levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) -related markers such as E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and TGF-β1. The endometrial thickness, fibrosis level, and glandular number were examined after the intravenous injection of HUCBMCs in mouse endometrial models. Immunohistochemistry was employed to assess changes in growth factors vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) as well as fibrosis markers α-SMA and COL1A1. Additionally, expressions of EMT-related proteins E-cadherin and N-cadherin were evaluated. Results: HUCBMCs significantly improved the proliferation and reduced the apoptosis of damaged endometrial stromal cells (ESCs), accompanied by up-regulation of phospho-AKT expression. HUCBMCs increased endometrial thickness and glandular count while decreasing fibrosis and EMT-related markers in mouse endometrial models. Furthermore, EMT-related markers of ESCs and endometrial organoids were significantly decreased. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that HUCBMCs plays a pivotal role in mitigating endometrial injury through the attenuation of fibrosis. HUCBMCs may exert a reverse effect on the EMT process during the endometrium reconstruction.
