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

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) reprogrammed by somatic cells may be used as a potentially novel treatment regimen in stem cell regenerative medicine, particularly in the central nervous system (CNS). In the present study, iPSCs were generated using mouse embryonic fibroblasts by ectopic overexpression of Sox-2, Oct-3/4, Klf-4 and c-Myc, and cultured under the same conditions as that used for embryonic stem cells. The neuronal differentiation capacity of mouse iPSCs was examined, and the involvement of the formation of embryoid bodies was assessed. The results suggested that after 15 days of neuronal inducement, Nestin, Vimentin and Glast protein expression levels were significantly increased in the mouse iPSC-derived cells. Additionally, Bmi1, which is selectively expressed in differentiated postnatal adult stem cells. such as hematopoietic stem cells and neural stem cells, was required for establishment of the neuronal differentiation of mouse iPSCs. In order to assess the effects of Bmi1 in neuronal differentiation, Bmi1 expression levels were inhibited with the small molecule PTC-209. The results showed that inhibition of Bmi1 expression reduced the expression of neuronal markers, such as Nestin, compared with the controls. These results suggested that mouse iPSCs can be induced to achieve neuronal differentiation. More interestingly, Bmi1 was required during the neuronal differentiation of mouse iPSCs.
