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

End-stage liver disease is a multifactorial disorder and leading cause of death. The development of effective tissue models has been a focus of research for treating liver disease. This study investigated the use of acellular lung matrix (ALM) and fibronectin (FN) to culture adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) and promote their differentiation into hepatic-like cells. In this experimental study, sodium deoxycholate and NaCl were used to decellularize the lungs, and scaffolds were characterized by histology, scanning electron microscopy, and DNA quantification. ADMSCs were differentiated into hepatocyte-like cells using a two-step protocol under three conditions: in two-dimensional culture, on ALM scaffolds, and on FN-coated ALM scaffolds. Hepatic differentiation was confirmed by RT-PCR for specific genes (alpha-fetoprotein [AFP], albumin [ALB], cytokeratin-18 [CK-18]), ALB and urea levels were measured using specific commercial kits. The main extracellular matrix components (collagen and glycosaminoglycans) were preserved, and residual DNA was minimal (
