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

An intriguing question in human embryonic stem cell (hESC) biology is whether these pluripotent cells can give rise to stably expandable somatic stem cells, which are still amenable to extrinsic fate instruction. Here, we present a pure population of long-term self-renewing rosette-type hESC-derived neural stem cells (lt-hESNSCs), which exhibit extensive self-renewal, clonogenicity, and stable neurogenesis. Although lt-hESNSCs show a restricted expression of regional transcription factors, they retain responsiveness to instructive cues promoting the induction of distinct subpopulations, such as ventral midbrain and spinal cord fates. Using lt-hESNSCs as a donor source for neural transplantation, we provide direct evidence that hESC-derived neurons can establish synaptic connectivity with the mammalian nervous system. Combining long-term stability, maintenance of rosette-properties and phenotypic plasticity, lt-hESNSCs may serve as useful tool to study mechanisms of human NSC self-renewal, lineage segregation, and functional in vivo integration.
