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

Satellite Cells (SCs) and Fibro-Adipogenic Progenitors (FAPs) are muscle-resident cell populations crucial for maintaining skeletal muscle homeostasis and coordinating regeneration after injuries. However, primary human SCs and FAPs are difficult to co-isolate, and their broad use in translational research has been limited by a lack of standardized biobanking protocols. Recently, we published a protocol for efficient co-isolation of SCs and FAPs from human skeletal muscle. Here, we extend those efforts to establish a comprehensive pipeline for the cryopreservation, cold-chain transport, and independent-site utilization of human SCs and FAPs. Cells taken through this pipeline maintained lineage-specific markers, including Pax7, MyoD and CD56 for SCs, and PDGFRα and TE7 for FAPs, indicating retention of their pre-biobanking phenotype. Furthermore, SCs demonstrate robust myogenic differentiation capacity, and FAPs demonstrate both fibrogenic and adipogenic differentiation capacity post-transport. Finally, previously biobanked SCs were incorporated into
