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

Tsushima leopard cat is the subspecies of Amur cats, and it is classified as the most highest class of critically endangered animals. Although the protection activity is highly recognized, the number of animals is decreasing due to the human activity and invasion of domestic cats and infectious disease. In this study, we succeeded primary culture of normal fibroblasts derived from the Tsushima leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis euptilurus). Furthermore, we introduced the human derived mutant Cyclin Dependent Kinase 4, Cyclin D1, and telomere reverse transcriptase. We showed that the expression of these three genes efficiently immortalized cells derived from Tsushima leopard cat. Furthermore, we showed that the chromosome pattern of the established cells is identical with the original one. These data indicate that our method of immortalization is useful to establish cell lines from critically endangered cats, which potentially contributes to the re-generation of critically endangered animals from cultured cell with reproductive technique, such as somatic cloning.
