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

Male germline stem cells (mGSCs) presented in male testis are responsible for spermatogenesis during their whole life. However, little information can be found on the culture of bovine mGSCs, and the current culture system needs to be improved. In this study, we compared the effects of several commercial serum-free media and different extra-cellular matrix on the enrichment and cultivation of mGSCs. To find out the best culture condition, the biological characteristics of the cultured cells were evaluated by morphological observation, RT-PCR and immunofluorescent staining. According to the cells' condition in different experiment groups, we found out an efficient cultivation system for bovine mGSCs derived from neonate testis. In this serum- and feeder-free medium, the cultured cells maintained the typical morphology, and expressed specific surface markers of both pluripotent ES cells and mGSCs, including SSEA-1, CD49f, C-MYC, PLZF, GFRα1, LIN28, NANOG, Oct4 and SOX2 in commercial human ESCs medium PeproGrow-hESC + BIO (6-bromoindirubin-3'-oxime). Embryoid bodies, derived from the bovine mGSCs, and were formed by ganging drop culture. The retinoic acid induced bovine mGSCs were positive for Stra8, SCP3, DZAL, EMA1 and VASA, and resembled spermatid cells morphologically. Thus, we found an efficient bovine mGSCs-cultivation system, which is lack in serum and feeder.
