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

Genomic manipulation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) has become essential to introduce genetic modifications and transgenes, and develop reporter lines. One of the major bottlenecks in gene editing is at the stage of single-cell cloning, which is thought to be variable across hPSC lines and is substantially reduced following a transfection. Due to the difficulty of performing fluorescent-assisted cell sorting (FACS) for single-cell isolation of hPSCs, previous approaches rely on manual colony picking, which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive. In this protocol, I provide a method for utilizing FACS to generate single-cell clones of hPSCs with efficiencies approaching 40% within 7-10 days. This can be achieved by sorting cells onto a feeder layer of MEFs in a stem cell defined medium with KSR and a Rock inhibitor, as early as 1-2 days following a transfection, streamlining the gene editing process. The approach described here provides a fundamental method for all researchers utilizing hPSCs for scientific studies.
