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

backgroundHuman muscle reserve cells (MuRC) represent a quiescent MuSC population generated in vitro that exhibit heterogeneous Pax7 expression, with a Pax7

methodsHuman myoblasts (MB) and MuRC were analysed for AF by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Cellular metabolic composition was assessed by NADH/NADPH quantification and lipid staining. Human MuRC subpopulations were sorted by AF intensity and analysed for Pax7 expression, cell cycle re-entry, proliferation, clonal expansion, and myogenic differentiation. In vivo transplantation of MuRC-AF

resultsHuman MuRC exhibited a threefold increase in autofluorescence intensity compared to MB, with a peak at 405 nm excitation, likely linked to a 1.6-fold increase in lipid content, while NADH/NADPH levels remained comparable. Flow cytometry identified MuRC-AF

conclusionAutofluorescence enables the isolation of distinct human MuRC subpopulations. The AF
