Optimization of Culture Conditions for Human Ovarian Stem Cells Using Gelatin-Coated Surfaces.
Article in Cureus, 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
introductionThe presence of stem cells in the ovary has been a topic of discussion due to their questionable existence. Isolation of stem cells has been possible by enzymatic digestion; however, the percentage of cells harvested and expanded has not been satisfactory. This could be due to the lack of optimal adhesion provided by the standard commercial culture dishes, which affects the initial attachment and further growth of cells.
methodsOvarian tissue was collected during pelvic surgery after obtaining written informed consent from four patients. The tissue was exposed to enzymatic digestion using collagenase and hyaluronidase. The resulting cell suspension was cultured in a carbon dioxide incubator in petri dishes, which were either coated with gelatin or uncoated, and monitored serially for growth. The initial cells were counted and further passaged when confluent. The cell number and quality, along with embryoid body formation, were compared between the coated and uncoated dishes.
resultThe initial attachment of cells and further expansion were higher in the dishes that were coated with gelatin compared to the standard non-coated culture dishes.
conclusionThe addition of gelatin to the culture dishes seems to be beneficial in the culture of stem cells isolated from the human ovarian tissue and their further expansion.
