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
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are an important tool in the field of regenerative medicine due to their ability to differentiate towards all tissues of the adult organism. An important task in the study of hPSCs is to understand the factors that influence the maintenance of pluripotent and clonal characteristics of colonies represented by their morphological phenotype. Such factors include the ability of colonies to migrate during growth. In this work, we measured and analyzed the migration trajectories of hPSC colonies obtained from bright-field images of three cell lines, including induced hPSC lines AD3 and HPCASRi002-A (CaSR) and human embryonic stem cell line H9. To represent the pluripotent status, the colonies were visually phenotyped into two classes having a "good" or "bad" morphological phenotype. As for the migration characteristics, we calculated the colony speed and distance traveled (mobility measures), meandering index (motion persistence measures), outreach ratio (trajectory tortuosity characteristic), as well as the velocity autocorrelation function. The analysis revealed that the discrimination of phenotypes by the migration characteristics depended on both the cell line and growth environment. In particular, when the mTESR1/Matrigel culture environment was used, "good" AD3 colonies demonstrated a higher average migration speed than the "bad" ones. The reverse relationship between average speeds of "good" and "bad" colonies was found for the H9 line. The CaSR cell line did not show significant differences in the migration speed between the "good" and "bad" phenotypes. We investigated the type of motion exhibited by the colonies by applying two diffusion models to the mean squared displacement dynamics, one model corresponding to normal and the other to anomalous diffusion. The type of diffusion and diffusion parameter values resulting from the model fitting to data demonstrated a similar cell line, environment, and phenotype dependency. Colonies mainly showed a superdiffusive behavior for the mTESR1/Matrigel culture conditions, characterized by longer migration steps compared to the normal random walk. The specific properties of migration features and the patterns of their variation demonstrated in our work can be useful for the development and/or improvement of automated solutions for quality control of hPSCs.
