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
The human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y is widely used in vitro as a model due to its ability to acquire neuron-like properties. Conventional differentiation protocols often rely on retinoic acid (RA), which can lead to limited stability of neuronal-like phenotypes over time. In this study, we evaluated a differentiation approach combining RA with a laminin-rich extracellular matrix (LrECM). This approach accelerated differentiation, with neuron-like morphology and neurite outgrowth observed as early as 4 days and sustained features for up to 10 days. Immunofluorescence analysis indicated increased NeuN expression, and Western blot confirmed the sustained presence of β3-tubulin during differentiation. Furthermore, a trend toward enhanced acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity suggested partial cholinergic features. Altogether, these findings indicate that incorporating LrECM supports the stability of RA-induced neuron-like characteristics in SH-SY5Y cells and may provide a useful alternative for studies of neuronal-phenotype differentiation.
