Isolation, Expansion and Characterization of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells from Fresh and Cryopreserved Umbilical Cord Tissues in Horse and Dog.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 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
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) derived from perinatal tissues represent a promising resource for regenerative medicine due to their proliferative, immunomodulatory, and differentiation properties. Among these tissues, the umbilical cord is considered an accessible and ethically acceptable source of MSCs. This study evaluated the feasibility of whole umbilical cord cryopreservation in canine and equine species and assessed the biological properties of MSCs isolated from cryopreserved tissues compared with fresh samples. Equine Wharton's jelly and canine umbilical cord tissues were processed either immediately or after cryopreservation using two different freezing media: 10% DMSO + 10% FBS (DF) and 0.05 M glucose + 0.05 M sucrose + 1.5 M ethylene glycol (GSE). Isolated MSCs were characterized through proliferation, clonogenicity, adhesion and migration assays, trilineage differentiation, and molecular marker analysis. MSCs were successfully isolated from all experimental groups and maintained the typical morphology, plastic adherence, proliferative capacity, multilineage differentiation potential, and mesenchymal marker expression associated with MSC populations. Overall, cryopreservation did not significantly affect the main biological and functional properties of the cells. These findings support the use of cryopreserved umbilical cord tissues for veterinary biobanking and regenerative medicine applications.
