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

The low efficiency of in vitro differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) or human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into insulin-producing cells is a crucial hurdle for the clinical implementation of human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). Our previous investigation into the key factors for the differentiation of PSCs into insulin-producing cells suggested that the expression of GATA binding protein 6 (GATA6) and Gremlin 1 (GREM1) and inhibition of early growth response protein 1 (Egr1) may be important factors. In this study, we investigated the role of Egr1 in pancreas development. The transfection of small interfering RNA (siRNA) of Egr1 in the early phase induced the differentiation of iPSCs derived from fibroblasts (FiPSCs) into pancreatic endoderm and insulin-producing cells. In contrast, the downregulation of Egr1 in the late phase suppressed the differentiation of FiPSCs into pancreatic endoderm and insulin-producing cells. In addition, the overexpression of Egr1 suppressed the differentiation of iPSCs derived from pancreatic cells into pancreatic endoderm and insulin-producing cells. These data suggest that the downregulation of Egr1 in the early phase can efficiently induce the differentiation of iPSCs into insulin-producing cells.
