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

The heterochromatin barrier must be overcome to generate induced pluripotent stem cells and cell fusion-mediated reprogrammed hybrids. Here, we show that the absence of T-cell factor 3 (Tcf3), a repressor of β-catenin target genes, strikingly and rapidly enhances the efficiency of neural precursor cell (NPC) reprogramming. Remarkably, Tcf3(-/-) ES cells showed a genome-wide increase in AcH3 and decrease in H3K9me3 and can reprogram NPCs after fusion greatly. In addition, during reprogramming of NPCs into induced pluripotent stem cells, the silencing of Tcf3 increased AcH3 and decreased the number of H3K9me3-positive heterochromatin foci early and long before reactivation of the endogenous stem cell genes. In conclusion, our data suggest that Tcf3 functions as a repressor of the reprogramming potential of somatic cells.
