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

introductionThe prospect of therapeutic applications of the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is based on their ability to generate virtually any cell type present in human body. Generation of iPSCs from somatic cells has opened up new possibilities to investigate stem cell biology, to better understand pathophysiology of human diseases, and to design new therapy approaches in the field of regenerative medicine. In this study, we focus on the ability of the episomal system, a non-viral and integration-free reprogramming method to derive iPSCs from somatic cells of various origin.

methodsCells originating from neonatal and adult tissue, renal epithelium, and amniotic fluid were reprogrammed by using origin of replication/Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen-1 (oriP/EBNA-1)-based episomal vectors carrying defined factors. The iPSC colony formation was evaluated by using immunocytochemistry and alkaline phosphatase assay and by investigating gene expression profiles. The trilineage formation potential of generated pluripotent cells was assessed by embryoid body-mediated differentiation. The impact of additionally introduced factors on episome-based reprogramming was also investigated.

resultsReprogramming efficiencies were significantly higher for the epithelial cells compared with fibroblasts. The presence of additional factor miR 302/367 in episomal system enhanced reprogramming efficiencies in fibroblasts and epithelial cells, whereas the downregulation of Mbd3 expression increased iPSC colony-forming efficiency in fibroblasts solely.

conclusionsIn this study, we performed a side-by-side comparison of iPSC colony-forming efficiencies in fibroblasts and epithelial cells transiently transfected with episomal plasmids and demonstrated that iPSC generation efficiency was highest when donor samples were derived from epithelial cells. We determined that reprogramming efficiency of episomal system could be further improved. Considering results obtained in the course of this study, we believe that episomal reprogramming provides a simple, reproducible, and efficient tool for generating clinically relevant pluripotent cells.
