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

Introduction: Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are promising candidates for mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy due to their ease of isolation from the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of adipose tissue. However, traditional isolation methods often result in mouse ADSCs with low purity and significant heterogeneity contributing to inconsistencies in results from preclinical and clinical studies. This is partly attributed to the lack of consensus on their surface markers. Methods: This study compared three purification methods for isolating mouse ADSCs based on Sca-1 positivity-direct adherence (ADSC-A), magnetic cell sorting followed by adherence (ADSC-M), and adherence to the third generation followed by magnetic cell sorting (ADSC-AM). Third-generation ADSCs were evaluated for proliferative activity, differentiation potential, and functional enrichment using proliferation assays, trilineage differentiation assays, and RNA sequencing. Flow cytometry was employed to assess Sca-1 positivity and the expression of positive (CD44, CD90, CD29) and negative markers (CD31, CD45) in the fourth-generation ADSCs. Results: Among the three methods, ADSC-AM exhibited superior properties, including uniform morphology, enhanced proliferation, and over 95% expression of Sca-1 and CD29. While all methods supported trilineage differentiation, ADSC-AM demonstrated enhanced adipogenesis. Furthermore, RNA sequencing and pathway enrichment analysis revealed that ADSC-AM possessed unique potential in angiogenesis and immune regulation. Discussion: These findings suggest that the ADSC-AM method offers a simple and reproducible approach for obtaining high-purity mouse ADSCs with better functional properties and provide a fundamental reference for understanding mouse ADSCs surface marker profiles.
