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

backgroundAmniotic fluid-derived stem cells (AFSCs) possess optimal differentiation potential and are a promising resource for cell therapy and tissue engineering. Mouse is a good model to be studied for pre-clinical research.

methodsIn this study, we successfully established enhanced green fluorescent protein mouse-derived amniotic fluid stem cells (EGFP-mAFSCs) and investigated whether EGFP-mAFSCs possess the ability to differentiate into cardiomyocytes by in vitro culture. We evaluated stem-cell differentiation using immunofluorescence.

resultsThis study showed that EGFP-mAFSCs can give rise to spontaneously beating cardiomyocyte-like cells expressing the specific markers c-kit, myosin heavy chain, and cardiac troponin I.

conclusionsWe demonstrated that mAFSCs have the in vitro propensity to acquire a cardiomyogenic phenotype and to a certain extent cardiomyocytes; however the process efficiency which gives rise to cardiomyocyte-like cells remains quite low (2 out of 10 were found). KEY WORDS: Amniotic fluid; Cardiomyocytes; In vitro differentiation; Stem cells.
