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

We have used a four stage protocol to generate spinal motor neurons (MNs) from human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). These stages include the pluripotent stem cell (PSC) stage, neural stem cell (NSC) stage, OLIG2 expressing motor neuron precursor (MNP) stage, and HB9 expressing mature-MN stage. To optimize the differentiation protocol reporter lines marking the NSC and MNP stages were used. The NSC stage is a pro-proliferative precursor stage at which cells can be directed to differentiate to other neural types like cortical neurons also, in addition to MNs; thus, NSCs can be expanded and stored for future differentiation to different neural types thereby, shortening the differentiation interval as compared to the complete process of differentiation from ESCs or iPSCs. Additionally, we find that OLIG2 positive cells at the MNP stage can be cryopreserved and then recovered to continue the process of MN differentiation, thereby providing a highly stable and reproducible technique for bulk differentiation. MNPs were differentiated to MNs expressing the marker HB9 demonstrating that mature-MNs can be generated with this protocol.
