Influence of Donor Obesity on Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Function and Therapeutic Efficacy.
Review in Cells, 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
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are widely used in regenerative medicine and are considered key effectors underlying the therapeutic efficacy of autologous fat grafting for scarring and skin fibrosis, yet clinical outcomes remain variable. This review examines how obesity alters the adipose microenvironment through chronic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, resulting in epigenetic changes, mitochondrial impairment, oxidative stress, and premature cellular senescence in ADSCs. ADSCs from obese individuals exhibit reduced stemness, impaired differentiation, and a pro-inflammatory secretome with diminished regenerative capacity. While weight loss may partially reverse these effects, persistent epigenetic and functional memory limits full recovery. This review argues that donor metabolic status is a determinant of ADSC therapeutic potency and discusses key challenges and opportunities for improving regenerative outcomes.
