Effect of 5-[(125)I]iodo-2'-deoxyuridine uptake on the proliferation and pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells.
Article in International journal of radiation biology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
purposeHuman embryonic stem cells (hESC) hold a great potential for regenerative medicine because, in principle, they can differentiate into any cell type found in the human body. In addition, studying the effect of ionizing radiation (IR) on hESC may provide valuable information about the response of human cells to IR exposure in their most naive state, as well as the consequences of IR exposure on the development of organisms. However, the effect of IR, in particular radionuclide uptake, on the pluripotency, proliferation and survival of hESC has not been extensively studied.
methodsIn this study we treated cultured hESC with 5-[(125)I]iodo-2'-deoxyuridine ((125)IdU), a precursor of DNA synthesis. Then we measured the expansion of colonies and expression of pluripotency markers in hESC.
resultsWe found that uptake of (125)IdU was similar in both hESC and HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells. However, treatment with 0.1 μCi/ml (125)IdU for 24 hours resulted in complete death of the hESC population; whereas HT1080 cancer cells continued to grow. Treatment with a 10-fold lower dose (125)IdU (0.01 μCi/ml) resulted in colonies of hESC becoming less defined with numerous cells growing in monolayer outside of the colonies showing signs of differentiation. Then we analyzed the expression of pluripotency markers (octamer-binding transcription factor 4 [Oct-4] and stage-specific embryonic antigen-4 [SSEA4]) in the surviving hESC. We found that hESC in the surviving colonies expressed pluripotency markers at levels comparable with those in the non-treated controls.
conclusionsOur results provide important initial insights into the sensitivity of hESC to IR, and especially that produced by the decay of an internalized radionuclide.
