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

Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have the capacity to differentiate into germ cells (GCs). This study was conducted to develop a non-integrated method of using RNA transfection to derive putative male GCs from goat BMSCs (gBMSCs) in vitro by overexpressing STRA8, BOULE and DAZL. The gBMSCs were induced by co-transfection these three mRNAs together (mi-SBD group) or sequential transfection according to their expression time order in vivo (mi-S + BD group). After transfection, a small population of gBMSCs transdifferentiated into early germ cell-like cells and had the potential to enter meiosis. These cells expressed primordial germ cell specific genes STELLA, C-KIT and MVH, as well as premeiotic genes DAZL, BOULE, STRA8, PIWIL2 and RNF17. Importantly, the expression level of meiotic marker synaptonemal complex protein 3 significantly increased in these transfected two groups compared with control cells by qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence and western blot analysis (P < 0.05). Moreover, the protein expression of MVH was significantly higher in mi-S + BD group than that in mi-SBD group (P < 0.05). In addition, compared with control group, the methylation rate of imprinted gene H19 decreased in these two transfected group (P < 0.05), and the rate was significantly lower in mi-S + BD group compared with mi-SBD group (P < 0.05). This study helps to understand the mechanisms of action of key genes in GCs differentiation and also provides a novel system for in vitro induction of male GCs from stem cells.
