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

FAM40B (STRIP2) is a member of the striatin-interacting phosphatase and kinase (STRIPAK) complex that is involved in the regulation of various processes such as cell proliferation and differentiation. Its role for differentiation processes in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) is till now completely unknown. Short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated silencing of Fam40b expression in ESCs and differentiating embryoid bodies (EBs) led to perturbed differentiation to embryonic germ layers and their derivatives including a complete abrogation of cardiomyogenesis. Pluripotency factors such as Nanog, Oct4 and Sox2 as well as epigenetic factors such as histone acetyltransferase type B (HAT1) and DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3-β (Dnmt3b) were highly upregulated in Fam40b knockdown EBs as compared with control and scrambled EBs. To examine the relevance of Fam40b for development in vivo, Fam40b was knocked down in developing zebrafish. Morpholino-mediated knockdown of Fam40b led to severe abnormalities of the cardiovascular system, including an impaired expression of ventricular myosin heavy chain (vmhc) and of cardiac myosin light chain 2 (cmlc2) in the heart. We identified the gene product of Fam40b in ESCs as a perinuclear and nucleolar protein with a molecular weight of 96 kDa. We conclude that the expression of Fam40b is essential for the lineage commitment of murine embryonic stem cells (mESCs) into differentiated somatic cells via mechanisms involving pluripotency and epigenetic networks.
