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

backgroundMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold promise for application in adult stem cell-mediated regenerative medicine in bone remodeling and fracture repair. MSCs in vitro can be directed to osteogenic lineage by dexamethasone (DEX); however, the use of DEX is not practical in clinical settings because of adverse side effects such as glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. For identifying substances that facilitate osteogenesis, a monitoring system, which detects the osteogenic differentiation stage of MSCs accurately and easily, is required.

methodsBy focusing on the human osteocalcin (OC) gene whose expression profile is described along with osteogenic differentiation, we constructed the luciferase (Luc) reporter gene driven by the enhancer/promoter sequence of the human OC gene (OC-Luc) utilizing a mammalian artificial chromosome. Mammalian artificial chromosome is a suitable platform for loading reporter constructs, because of its stable episomal maintenance in host cells, transferability into any cell and assurance of long-term physiological transgene expression. We loaded the OC-Luc on a mammalian artificial chromosome vector engineered from mouse chromosome (designated as mouse artificial chromosome, MAC) in Chinese hamster ovary cells (OC-Luc/MAC) and transferred this into human MSC cells via chromosome transfer.

resultsOC-Luc/MAC in human MSC cells are responsive to positive and negative stimulation by 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and DEX in differentiation stage of MSCs to osteoblasts, reflecting the manner of physiological expression.

conclusionThe OC-Luc/MAC reporter system may contribute not only to monitoring the osteogenic differentiation stage from MSC but also to identify novel osteogenic drugs.
