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

backgroundDuchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a recessive form of muscular disorder, resulting from the dystrophin gene mutations in X-chromosome. Application of embryonic stem cells or adult stem cells has demonstrated the therapeutic effects on DMD through both cell-based and non-cell based mechanisms. In this study, we proposed that Myogenic Progenitor Cells from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC-MPCs) would be more effective in repairing muscle damage caused by muscular dystrophy. METHODS AND

resultsMouse iPSCs were cultured in myogenic differentiation culture medium and the MPCs were characterized using Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and flow cytometry. iPSCs were successfully converted into MPCs, as evidenced by the distinct expression of myogenic genes and cell surface markers. The muscle injury was induced in tibialis muscle of mdx mouse by cardiotoxin injection, and the iPSC-MPCs were then engrafted into the damage site. Firefly luciferase expression vector was transduced into iPSC-MPCs and the

conclusioniPSCs-derived MPCs exert strong therapeutic effects on muscular dystrophy by restoring dystrophin expression and acetylcholine receptor distribution.
