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

In vitro induction of functional haploid cells from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) has been reported by several groups. However, these reports either involve complex induction process with undefined induction factors or show low-induction efficiency. Here, we report complete meiosis in vitro from ESCs with defined induction factors. ESCs were first induced into primordial germ cell-like cells, which were further induced into male germline cells, including spermatogonial stem cell-like cells (SSCLCs) and spermatid-like cells. Importantly, the obtained SSCLCs were functional as infertile male mice sired healthy offspring via SSCLC transplantation. Further, we found that eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit 3 and structural gene Y-linked (Eif2s3y) was essential for spermatogenesis. Eif2s3y-overexpressing ESCs showed enhanced spermatogenesis in vitro, as demonstrated by higher expression levels of SSC-specific markers during SSCLC induction process, improved reproductive ability recovery of infertile male mice, and increased efficiency of haploid cell induction. Our work provides a convenient and efficient approach to obtain functional male germline cells.
