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

Cell-based therapeutic strategies afford major potential advantages in the repair of injured tendons. Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) expands cell sources for "regenerative" therapy. However, its application in tendon repair is still limited and the effects remain unclear. In this study, equine tenocyte-derived iPSCs (teno-iPSCs) were generated by expressing four Yamanaka factors. Compared to parental tenocytes and bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), the transcriptional activities of lineage-specific genes, including Mkx, Col1A2, Col14, DCN, ELN, FMOD, and TNC, were highly repressed in the resulting teno-iPSCs. Exposure to cyclic uniaxial mechanical loading increased the expression of Scx, Egr1, Col1A2, DCN, and TNC in teno-iPSCs and the expression of Scx, Egr1, DCN, and TNC in BMSCs. Reintroduction of tenogenic transcription factor Mohawk (Mkx) upregulated the expression of DCN in teno-iPSCs and the expression of Scx, Col14, and FMOD in BMSCs. Mechanical loading combined with ectopic expression of equine Mkx further enhanced the expression of Egr1, Col1A2, DCN, and TNC in teno-iPSCs and the expression of Scx, Egr1, and TNC in BMSCs. These data suggest that the repressed lineage-specific genes in the teno-iPSCs can be re-activated by mechanical loading and ectopic expression of Mkx. Our findings offer new insights into the application of iPSCs for basic and clinic research in tendon repair.
