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

Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) often cause persistent sensory and motor deficits that impair quality of life. To improve outcomes, cell-based therapies have been explored, and Schwann cells (SCs) are considered a promising option because of their essential roles in myelination and neurotrophic support. However, the clinical use of autologous SCs is limited by donor site morbidity and challenges in large-scale expansion, leading to growing interest in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived SCs. This study aimed to verify the therapeutic effects of iPSC-derived SCs in vivo and to determine whether the differentiation stage of the SCs influences their efficacy. We generated dibutyryl-cAMP-treated mature SCs and untreated immature SCs from iPSCs and transplanted them into a rat sciatic nerve crush injury model. Morphometric analysis showed that myelinated fiber density (fibers/mm
