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
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are associated with a high risk of amputations and a 50% 5-year survival rate due at least in part to the limited angiogenic and wound healing capacity of patients with diabetes. Cell therapy via intramuscular injection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells showed encouraging but limited results. Such limitations may arise from the limited ability of therapeutic cells to adhere to the target tissue. The development of a methodology able to support the targeted delivery of viable angiogenic cells would improve cell therapy outcomes in DFU. Here, we optimized a protocol for the production of autologous extracellular matrix (ECM)-rich pericyte-based cell sheets for cell delivery. Pericytes were isolated from skeletal muscle biopsies of DFU patients and non-diabetic controls and characterized by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells used for the optimization of collagen IV deposition showed a positive correlation with seeding density and a negative one with sub-culture passaging (
