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

Mechanisms underlying the reprogramming process of induced pluripotent stem cells remain poorly defined. Like tumorigenesis, generation of induced pluripotent stem cells was shown to be suppressed by the Trp53 (p53) pathway, at least in part via p21Cdkn1a (p21)-mediated cell cycle arrest. Here we examine the role of PUMA, a pro-apoptotic mediator of p53, during somatic reprogramming in comparison to p21 in the p53 pathway. Using mouse strains deficient in these molecules, we demonstrate that PUMA is an independent mediator of the negative effect of p53 on induced pluripotent stem cell induction. PUMA deficiency leads to a better survival rate associated with reduced DNA damage and fewer chromosomal aberrations in induced pluripotent stem cells, whereas loss of p21 or p53 results in an opposite outcome. Given these new findings, PUMA may serve as a distinct and more desirable target in the p53 pathway for induced pluripotent stem cell generation, thereby having important implications for potential therapeutic applications of induced pluripotent stem cells.
