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

Objective: To explore the biological characteristics of urine-derived stem cells (USCs) during Methods: USCs were isolated from fresh midstream urine samples from healthy volunteers by using the centrifugation combined with adherent cultivation method, followed by continuous passaging at a 1∶3 ratio. The morphological changes of cells were observed under inverted microscopy and analyzed using Image J software. After osteogenic and chondrogenic induction and identification of cells at passage 3 (P3), the biological characteristics of cells at different passages (P3, P5, and P7) were compared. Cell proliferation, cell cycle, senescence, and apoptosis were assessed via cell counting kit 8 assays, flow cytometry, β-galactosidase staining, and Annexin Ⅴ-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide staining. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of stemness genes (Nanog, Oct4, c-Myc, and Sox2). Tube formation assays were conducted to evaluate the Results: After osteogenic and chondrogenic induction, USCs were positive for alkaline phosphatase‌, Alizarin red, and Alcian blue staining, respectively. During expansion, the morphology of USCs gradually shifted from rice-grain-like to spindle-shaped, with increasing trends in long diameter, short diameter, area, and aspect ratio ( Conclusion: During
