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

Cell sheet therapy has emerged as a transformative technology in regenerative medicine, providing scaffold-free constructs that preserve cell-cell junctions and extracellular matrix components. Compared with traditional cell delivery methods, cell sheets enable improved engraftment, survival, and integration after transplantation. Recent years have witnessed remarkable progress in clinical translation, with several products approved in Japan, the United States, and South Korea. This review summarizes the current landscape of cell sheet therapies approved worldwide, focusing on their fabrication technologies, cell sources, and clinical indications. We highlight representative products such as JACE
