Fat harvesting protocol for enhanced stem cell viability - pilot study.
Article in Clinics (Sao Paulo, Brazil), 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
objectiveAdipose tissue is used in several specialties to obtain Adipose-derived Stem Cells (ASC) and fat derivatives. Several studies analyze protocols for harvesting fat tissues. However, these studies showed inconclusive data regarding cell viability and function. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze protocols regarding cell viability, identify the best method, and test cell differentiation and proliferation when using the chosen methods.
methodsThis study harvested lipoaspirate products from three healthy women undergoing aesthetic procedures. The first analysis corresponds to the viability of fat tissue liposuction products for the washing process. The second analyzes the effect of anesthetic drugs, and the third analyzes the cytotoxicity of the fraction process. After testing all these steps, the authors prepared the fat tissue using the best method chosen after the first analysis to test cell differentiation (adipogenesis, osteogenesis, and chondrogenesis) and proliferation.
resultsThe analysis showed that saline solution 0.9% was the washing solution that induced less cell death. Regarding anesthetic and vasoconstrictor drugs, lidocaine, ropivacaine, and epinephrine caused similar levels of cell death, but sodium bicarbonate increased cell proliferation. The number of passages through a 2.4 mm Luer-to-Luer transfer device did not influence cell viability. The proliferation and differentiation of ASC in adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes were preserved using saline solution 0.9% and 20 × passages for fat fractioning.
conclusionsThe findings of this study provide preliminary in vitro evidence that may improve future investigations on the fat harvesting process.
