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

Non-human primates are our closest relatives and are of special interest for ecological, evolutionary and biomedical research. The Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) has contributed to the progress of primatology and neurosciences over 60 years. Despite this importance, the molecular and cellular basis of the Japanese macaque remains unexplored since useful cellular tools are lacking. Here we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from skin fibroblasts of the Japanese macaque with Sendai virus or plasmid vectors. The Japanese macaque iPSCs (jm-iPSCs) were established under feeder-free culture conditions, but feeder cells turned out to be essential for their maintenance. The jm-iPSCs formed human iPSC-like flat colonies which were positive for pluripotent antigens including alkaline phosphatase, SSEA4, and TRA-1-81. They also expressed endogenous OCT3/4, SOX2, L-MYC, and KLF4 and other pluripotent marker genes. The potential to differentiate into all three germ layers and neural stem cells was confirmed by embryoid body and neurosphere formation, respectively. The jm-iPSCs will provide a robust in vitro tool for investigating the underlying mechanisms of development and physiology studies with the Japanese macaque.
