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

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have the potential to differentiate into a variety of mature cell types and are a promising source of regenerative medicine. The success of regenerative medicine using MSCs strongly depends on their differentiation potential. In this study, we sought to identify marker genes for predicting the osteogenic differentiation potential by comparing ilium MSC and fibroblast samples. We measured the mRNA levels of 95 candidate genes in nine ilium MSC and four fibroblast samples before osteogenic induction, and compared them with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity as a marker of osteogenic differentiation after induction. We identified 17 genes whose mRNA expression levels positively correlated with ALP activity. The chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation potentials of jaw MSCs are much lower than those of ilium MSCs, although the osteogenic differentiation potential of jaw MSCs is comparable with that of ilium MSCs. To select markers suitable for predicting the osteogenic differentiation potential, we compared the mRNA levels of the 17 genes in ilium MSCs with those in jaw MSCs. The levels of 7 out of the 17 genes were not substantially different between the jaw and ilium MSCs, while the remaining 10 genes were expressed at significantly lower levels in jaw MSCs than in ilium MSCs. The mRNA levels of the seven similarly expressed genes were also compared with those in fibroblasts, which have little or no osteogenic differentiation potential. Among the seven genes, the mRNA levels of
