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

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) acquire genetic changes during their propagation in culture that can affect their use in research and future therapies. To identify the key genes involved in selective advantage during culture adaptation and tumorigenicity of hPSCs, we generated a genome-wide screening system for genes and pathways that provide a growth advantage either in vitro or in vivo. We found that hyperactivation of the RAS pathway confers resistance to selection with the hPSC-specific drug PluriSIn-1. We also identified that inactivation of the RHO-ROCK pathway gives growth advantage during culture adaptation. Last, we demonstrated the importance of the PI3K-AKT and HIPPO pathways for the teratoma formation process. Our screen revealed key genes and pathways relevant to the tumorigenicity and survival of hPSCs and should thus assist in understanding and confronting their tumorigenic potential.
