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
Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) can shift toward proinflammatory and fibrotic phenotypes, but factors triggering this transition are not fully understood. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of exposure to regulated cell death environments on the fibroinflammatory potential of surviving subcutaneous ASCs (sub-ASCs). Surviving sub-ASCs were characterized by transcriptional analysis of genes associated with inflammation and extracellular matrix remodeling. Phenotypical markers of fibroinflammatory progenitor cells were monitored by immunoblotting and flow cytometry. We determined post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histone proteins by immunoblotting and mass spectrometry, including individual and combinatorial histone marks. Four days after transient exposure to serum starvation- or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα)-induced cell death, surviving sub-ASCs cultured under hypoxic proliferative conditions showed elevated mRNA levels of inflammatory mediators, fibrillar collagens, matricellular proteins, and cytoskeletal components. This fibroinflammatory transcriptional activation was accompanied by decreased expression of fibroinflammatory progenitor cell markers. Surviving sub-ASCs exhibited variations in histone methylation marks associated with transcriptional regulation. Inhibiting calcium-dependent μ- and m-calpains during TNFα-induced cell death increased histone marks associated with gene activation and repression, altering surviving sub-ASCs transcriptional responses four days later. Middle-down mass spectrometry identified changes in specific histone mark combinations in surviving sub-ASCs following TNFα-induced cell death. These findings suggest that regulated cell death environments act as reprogramming agents for surviving ASCs, driving fibro-inflammatory transcriptional activation and histone PTM changes, likely as part of an inducible gene expression program promoting cell survival.
