Article in Journal of translational medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundRegeneration plays a key role in energy recycling and homeostasis maintenance. Planarians, as ideal model animals for studying regeneration, stem cell proliferation, and apoptosis, have the strong regenerative abilities. Considerable evidence suggests that ubiquitin plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis and regulating regeneration, but the function of Ubiquitin specific proteases 7 (Usp7) on regeneration in planarians remains elusive.
methodsWe identified an evolutionarily conserved gene, Usp7, and utilized RNA interference (RNAi), Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Whole-mount immunofluorescence, Tunnel, Whole-mount in situ hybridization (WISH), and western blotting to detect the function of Usp7 during the planarian regeneration.
resultsIn this study, we found that the regenerative trunk fragments in the Usp7 RNAi worms could not regenerate missing tails; meanwhile, the level of cell proliferation was decreased, while cell apoptosis was increased. Furthermore, the expression of Islet was inhibited in the Usp7 RNAi worms during planarian regeneration. The hybridization signal of wnt1/P-1 exhibited the dot-like pattern at the posterior of the regenerating planarians after Usp7 RNAi at regenerative 1 day (R 1 d). However, the concentrated expression pattern wnt1/P-1 dramatically declined at regenerative 3 days (R 3 d) and disappeared at regenerative 7 days (R 7 d). In addition, activating the Wnt pathway partially rescued regenerative defects induced by inhibition of Usp7.
conclusionsCollectively, Usp7 is necessary for tissue regeneration and tail blastema formation partially by regulating the cell proliferation and apoptosis during planarian regeneration. It could also promote the posterior polarity reconstruction of the regenerative planarians via the Islet/Wnt1 axis.
