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

Somites (SMs) comprise a transient stem cell population that gives rise to multiple cell types, including dermatome (D), myotome (MYO), sclerotome (SCL) and syndetome (SYN) cells. Although several groups have reported induction protocols for MYO and SCL from pluripotent stem cells, no studies have demonstrated the induction of SYN and D from SMs. Here, we report systematic induction of these cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) under chemically defined conditions. We also successfully induced cells with differentiation capacities similar to those of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC-like cells) from SMs. To evaluate the usefulness of these protocols, we conducted disease modeling of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), an inherited disease that is characterized by heterotopic endochondral ossification in soft tissues after birth. Importantly, FOP-iPSC-derived MSC-like cells showed enhanced chondrogenesis, whereas FOP-iPSC-derived SCL did not, possibly recapitulating normal embryonic skeletogenesis in FOP and cell-type specificity of FOP phenotypes. These results demonstrate the usefulness of multipotent SMs for disease modeling and future cell-based therapies.
