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

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are well-characterized adult stem cells, recently isolated from human nucleus pulposus of degenerate and non-degenerate intervertebral disc. The attention to this source is linked to its embryologic history and cells may conserve a stronger aptitude to neuronal differentiation than other MSCs. Here, MSCs from nucleus pulposus (NP-MSCs) were successfully isolated and characterized for morphology, proliferation, and expression of selected genes. Subsequently, the neuronal differentiation was induced by 10 days of culture with a neuronal medium. NP-MSCs subjected to neural differentiation media (NP-MSCs-N) showed a morphological and biochemical modifications. NP-MSCs-N displayed elongated shape with protrusion, intermediate filaments, microtubules, and electron dense granules and the ability to form neurospheres. Even if they expressed neural markers such as NESTIN, β-TUBULIN III, MAP-2, GAP-43, and ENOLASE-2, the neural differentiated cells did not show neither spontaneous nor evoked intracellular calcium variations compared to the undifferentiated cells, suggesting that cells do not have electric functional properties. Further studies are required in order to get a better understanding and characterization of NP-MSCs and analyzed the molecular mechanisms that regulate their neural differentiation potential.
