Alternative cryoprotective agent for corneal stroma-derived mesenchymal stromal cells for clinical applications.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. 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
Cryopreservation of human corneal stroma-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hCS-MSCs) with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) as a cryoprotective agent (CPA) has not been previously compared to that with glycerol under standard conditions. The hCS-MSCs were hereby cryopreserved with both compounds using a freezing rate of 1 °C/minute. The CPAs were tested by different concentrations in complete Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) approved for good manufacturing practice, and a medium frequently used in cell laboratory culturing-Dulbecco's modified eagle serum. The hCS-MSCs were isolated from cadaveric human corneas obtained from the Norwegian Eye Bank, and immunophenotypically characterized by flow cytometry before and after cryopreservation. The survival rate, the cellular adhesion, proliferation and cell surface coverage after cryopreservation of hCS-MSCs has been studied. The hCS-MSCs were immunofluorescent stained and examined for their morphology microscopically. The results showed that cryopreservation of hCS-MSCs in MEM with 10% glycerol gives a higher proliferation rate compared to other cryopreserving media tested. Based on the results, hCS-MSCs can safely be cryopreserved using glycerol instead of the traditional use of DMSO.
