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

backgroundRecent studies demonstrated the involvement of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) in carcinogenesis, but the molecular mechanism behind this transformation is still obscured.

objectiveTo screen both the expression levels of polycomb and trithorax epigenetic regulators and TrP53 mutations in early and late MSC culture passages in an attempt to decipher the mechanism of spontaneous transformation.

methodsThe study was conducted on early and late passages of MSC culture model from C57BL/6J mice. The expression profile of 84 epigenetic regulators was examined using RT2 profiler PCR array. TrP53 mutations in the DNA binding domain was screened. Codons, amino acids positions and the corresponding human variants were detected in P53 sequences.

resultsSixty-two epigenetic regulators were dysregulated. Abnormalities were detected starting the third passage. Nine regulators were dysregulated in all passages. (C>G) substitution P53 mutation was detected in passage 3 resulting in Ser152Arg substitution. Passages 6, 9, 12 and the last passage showed T>C substitution resulting in Cys235Arg substitution. The last passage had T deletion and A insertion resulting in frame shift mutations changing the p.Phe286Ser and p.Asn103Lys respectively.

conclusionIn vitro expanded MSCs undergo transformation through alteration of epigenetic regulators which results in genomic instability and frequent P53 mutations.
