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

backgroundThe induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) has shown great potential in cellular therapy of myocardial infarction (MI), while its application is hampered by the low efficiency of cardiomyocyte differentiation. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) on cardiomyocyte differentiation from mouse induced pluripotent stem cells (miPSCs) and the underlying mechanisms involved.

methodsThe optimal treatment condition for cardiomyocyte differentiation from miPSCs was established with ideal concentration (10 ng/mL) and duration (from day 3 to day 14) of CT-1 administration. Up-regulated expression of cardiac specific genes that accounted for embryonic cardiogenesis was observed by quantitative RT-PCR. Elevated amount of α-myosin heavy chain (α-MHC) and cardiac troponin I (cTn I) positive cells were detected by immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry analysis in CT-1 group.

resultsTransmission electron microscopic analysis revealed that cells treated with CT-1 showed better organized sacromeric structure and more mitochondria, which are morphological characteristic of matured cardiomyocytes. Western blot demonstrated that CT-1 promotes cardiomyocyte differentiation from miPSCs partly via JAK2/STAT3/Pim-1 pathway as compared with control group.

conclusionsThese findings suggested that CT-1 could enhance the cardiomyocyte differentiation as well as the maturation of mouse induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes by regulating JAK2/STAT3/Pim-1signaling pathway.
