Differentiation of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells into CD45
Article in iScience, 2026. 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
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are notable for their differentiation potential and immunomodulatory properties. They share several features with macrophages as well as fibrocytes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between MSCs, fibrocytes, and macrophages, focusing on the hypothesis of a possible direct lineage. Particularly, the focus lies on a freshly isolated murine MSC population known as PαS cells, which were transplanted into irradiated recipients, resulting in cells expressing a macrophage-like phenotype with CD45, CD68, and CSF1R (also known as CD115) expression. Further analysis showed that PαS cells cultured in macrophage differentiation media acquired characteristics of M2 macrophages (CD45, CD68, and CD206) through interaction with CSF1R. These results were confirmed in several mouse strains and human MSCs. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed macrophage-like populations among the PαS cells, demonstrating the phenotypic plasticity of non-cultured MSCs, giving into MSC potential roles in immune regulation and tissue repair.
