1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Stem cell therapies have emerged as a transformative approach in modern medicine, with the potential to address and possibly cure a broad spectrum of diseases. These therapies utilize living stem cells that can perform complex biological functions not replicable by traditional drugs. Stem cell therapies have an expanding therapeutic landscape, with several products already approved and numerous clinical trials underway. Among the various stem cell types, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are most widely studied. In this review, we provide a detailed analysis of the current clinical landscape of stem cell therapies. We review 27 stem cell products that have received regulatory approvals and discuss 800 ongoing clinical trials, with a focus on HSCs and MSCs. We also discuss the critical challenges to be addressed to facilitate the clinical translation of stem cell therapies.
