Achieving Lasting Umbilical Cord Decontamination and Sustainable Stem Cell Sourcing by Combining Plasma-Functionalized Liquid and Ultrasound.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The growing demand for alternative meat products is accelerating research into reproductive cell sources for cell-based meat processes, also called cultured meat. Porcine umbilical cord tissue is recognized as an advantageous source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, effective decontamination must be achieved without compromising tissue integrity and cell recovery. In this study, we evaluated the decontamination of porcine umbilical cords using plasma-functionalized liquid (PFL) generated by a microwave-driven plasma source. It was applied alone and in combination with ultrasound, with the combined approach demonstrating superior performance. Specifically, the ultrasound-PFL combination treatment reduced the initial microbial load of individual tissue samples, ranging from 4.08 to 7.41 log
