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

Hepatocytes differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells and adult stem cells could be utilized as a tool for the study of liver diseases, screening for drug metabolism and hepatotoxicity. Thus further investigation of the method to efficiently generate hepatocytes is in great need. Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BMSCs) were collected from rat femurs and tibias. FOXA2 and HNF1α genes were constructed into a lentiviral vector and introduced into BMSCs by a lentivirus-mediated overexpression system. Three weeks after the induction, the expressions of FOXA2 and HNF1α, and liver specific genes were analyzed, and hepatocyte-function related assays were performed. Overexpression of both FOXA2 and HNF1α induced the BMSCs to differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs). Hepatocyte-specific gene and protein were detected by RT-PCR, Western Blot and Immunofluorescence. These HLCs also exerted some typical hepatocyte functions such as glycogen storage, indocyanine green absorption and lipid accumulation. The combination of FOXA2 and HNF1α can effectively induce BMSCs to differentiate into HLCs. This is a novel and efficient method to prepare HLCs within a short timeline.
