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
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) serve as ideal candidates for a broad range of cell-based therapies. However, cell ageing caused by long-term in vitro expansion and poor survival after in vivo delivery greatly limits their success in preclinical and clinical applications. Dedifferentiation represents a potential strategy for enhancing the retention and function of MSCs in hostile environments. In this study, we evaluated the cell phenotype, proliferation, and differentiation potential, as well as the anti-oxidative stress ability of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hMSCs) manipulated with adipogenic priming and subsequent dedifferentiation. After an in vitro differentiation and dedifferentiation procedure, the resultant dedifferentiated hMSCs (De-hMSCs) displayed properties similar to their original counterparts, including immunophenotype and mesodermal potential. Upon re-induction, De-hMSCs exhibited a significantly higher adipogenic differentiation capability than unmanipulated hMSCs. Importantly, De-hMSCs showed a significantly enhanced ability to resist tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) induced apoptosis compared to undifferentiated hMSCs. Mechanisms involving bcl-2 family proteins and autophagy may contribute to the demonstrated advantages of dedifferentiation-reprogrammed hMSCs. These results indicate that adipogenic dedifferentiation promotes adipogenesis and cell persistence, as well as preserves the stemness of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs that have been committed to the adipocytic lineage. As a unique stem cell population, dedifferentiated MSCs may represent an attractive and promising candidate for MSC-based therapy.
