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

purposeTo assess the genetic and epigenetic status of parthenogenetic human embryonic stem cells (phESCs).

methodsCytogenetics, X chromosome inactivation (XCI) and gene expression patterns were analyzed in one phESC line (FY-phES-018) that was derived from our laboratory.

resultsFY-phES-018 cells displayed the classical characteristics of normal hESCs. These cells had a 46, XX karyotype, and no inactive X chromosomes were observed before passage 20. After being cultured long term in vitro, some cells lost one X, and the proportion of cells with only one X gradually increased. At passage 35, almost all the cells displayed a 45, XO karyotype. Interestingly, at passage 45, the recovery of the X-chromosome was observed, and XCI became detectable; the mosaic ratio of 46, XX to 45, XO was 67:33. After passage 60, most cells displayed the 46, XX karyotype again with a mosaic ratio of 97:3. Some aberrant genomic imprinting was also observed in these cells.

conclusionsThe phESCs line FY-phES-018 is both genetically and epigenetically unstable; therefore, further research is needed before using these cells.
