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

The discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells and the ability to manufacture them using clinically compliant protocols has the potential to revolutionize the field of regenerative medicine. However, realizing this potential requires the development of processes that are reliable, reproducible, and cost-effective and that at the same time do not compromise the safety of the individuals receiving this therapy. In the present report, we discuss how cost reductions can be obtained using our experience with obtaining approval of biologic agents, autologous therapy, and the recent approval of cord blood banks. Significance: For therapy to be widely available, the cost of manufacturing stem cells must be reduced. The steps proposed in the present report, when implemented, have the potential to reduce these costs significantly.
