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

Pancreatic islet transplantation has remained an effective therapy for type 1 diabetes since 2000. Its widespread use has been prohibited by the shortage of suitable donors. It is critical to explore an applicable alternative for β-cell replacement. This study was performed to generate insulin-producing cells (IPCs) from pancreas-derived mesenchymal stem cells (pMSCs). pMSCs were isolated from discarded pancreatic tissue in the filter liquor during islet isolation procedure in mice and ex vivo expanded in culture. IPCs were induced by transfection of pancreas and duodenal transcription factor 1 (PDX-1) mRNA in vitro. Some islet characteristics were identified on pMSC-derived IPCs in mRNA and protein levels. Our results demonstrated that mouse pMSCs can be transdifferentiated into effective glucose-responsive insulin-producing cells through transfecting synthetic modified PDX-1 mRNA in vitro. The study of PDX-1 mRNA-induced pMSC reprogramming may pave the way toward the development of a novel β-cell source for the treatment of diabetes.
