Erroneous Differentiation of Tendon Stem/Progenitor Cells in the Pathogenesis of Tendinopathy: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives.
Review in Stem cell reviews and reports, 2025. 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
Tendinopathy is a condition characterized by persistent tendon pain, structural damage, and compromised functionality. Presently, the treatment for tendinopathy remains a formidable challenge, partly because of its unclear pathogenesis. Tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) are essential for tendon homeostasis, regeneration, remodeling, and repair. An innovative theory has been previously proposed, with insufficient evidence, that the erroneous differentiation of TSPCs may constitute one of the fundamental mechanisms underpinning tendinopathy. Over the past few years, there has been accumulating evidence for plausibility of this theory. In this review, we delve into alterations in the differentiation potential of TSPCs and the underlying mechanisms in the context of injury-induced tendinopathy, diabetic tendinopathy, and age-related tendinopathy to provide updated evidence on the erroneous differentiation theory. Despite certain limitations inherent in the existing body of evidence, the erroneous differentiation theory emerges as a promising and highly pertinent avenue for understanding tendinopathy. In the future, advanced methodologies will be harnessed to further deepen comprehension of this theory, paving the way for prospective developments in clinical therapies targeting TSPCs for the management of tendinopathy.
