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

backgroundThis study systematically evaluated the potential of porcine platelet-lysate (pPL) as a fetal bovine serum (FBS) substitute in cell culture. By culturing tumor cells, adult cells, and stem cells, it analyzed the differences and advantages of pPL over FBS.

methodspPL was prepared using the freeze - thaw method. Its biological effects were assessed by cell counting, LDH cytotoxicity assays, flow cytometry, and adipogenic/osteogenic/chondrogenic differentiation experiments, combined with qPCR and histological staining.

resultspPL significantly promoted the proliferation of A375 and HDF cells, with much lower LDH release than the FBS group, indicating less cellular stress. Flow cytometry showed that MSCs in the pPL group stably expressed mesenchymal markers CD73 ⁺ /CD90 ⁺ (>95%) and had lowCD34 ⁻ (<2%), meeting ISCT standards. Differentiation experiments revealed that the pPL group had better osteogenic differentiation efficiency, similar chondrogenic ability, and slightly lower but normal adipogenic differentiation compared to the FBS group.

conclusionspPL effectively supports the in vitro expansion of various cells, helps maintain the immunophenotypic stability of MSCs, and shows superiority in osteogenic differentiation. With its unique "proliferation-first, differentiation-controllable" advantage from a natural growth factor network, pPL offers a new approach for developing FBS substitutes.
