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

Correct selection of the reference gene(s) is the most important step in gene expression analysis. The aims of this study were to identify and evaluate the panel of possible reference genes in neural stem cells (NSC), early neural progenitors (eNP) and neural progenitors (NP) obtained from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC). The stability of expression of genes commonly used as the reference in cells during neural differentiation is variable and does not meet the criteria for reference genes. In the present work, we evaluated the stability of expression of 16 candidate reference genes using the four most popular algorithms: the ΔCt method, BestKeeper, geNorm and NormFinder. All data were analysed using the online tool RefFinder to obtain a comprehensive ranking. Our results indicate that NormFinder is the best tool for reference gene selection in early stages of hiPSC neural differentiation. None of the 16 tested genes is suitable as reference gene for all three stages of development. We recommend using different genes (panel of genes) to normalise RT-qPCR data for each of the neural differentiation stages.
