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

Math1, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor homolog of the Drosophila atonal gene, is considered to be a key factor for induction of sensory hair cells (HCs) during development of the organ of Corti or cochlea. Although embryonic stem (ES) cells are able to produce HC-like cells, the role of Math1 in induction of those cells has not been thoroughly elucidated. In the present study, we introduced Math1 into ES cells in order to achieve efficient generation of HC-like cells. ES cells carrying Tet-inducible Math1, Math1-ES cells, were generated using a Tet-On gene expression system. Embryoid bodies (EBs) formed in the absence of doxycycline (Dox) for 4 days were allowed to grow for an additional 14 days in the dishes in the presence of 400 μg/ml of Dox. At the end of those 14-day cultures, approximately 10% of the cells in EB outgrowths expressed the HC-related markers myosin6, myosin7a, calretinin, α9AchR, and Brn3c (also known as Pou4f3) and showed formation of stereocilia-like structures, whereas few cells in EB outgrowths grown without Dox showed those markers. Reporter assays of Math1-ES cells using a Brn3c-promoter plasmid demonstrated positive regulation of Brn3c by Math1. Furthermore, such HC-related marker-positive cells derived from Math1-ES cells were found to be incorporated in the developing inner ear after transplantation into chick embryos. Math1-ES cells are considered to be an efficient source of ES-derived HC-like cells, and Math1 may be an important factor for induction of HC-like cells from differentiating ES cells.
