Neurosphere-Free Transdifferentiation of Rat Bone Marrow Stromal Stem Cells Into Retinal Cells and Retinal Pigment Epithelium.
Article in Basic and clinical neuroscience. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionNeurosphere-free transdifferentiation of bone marrow stem cells into Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) and Retinal Cells (RCs) in vitro could offer an exceptional opportunity to study cell replacement in degenerative eye diseases. Thus, a simple and efficient protocol for retinal cells production from transdifferentiation of rat BMSCs in the neurosphere-free state is reported.
methodsExtracted BMSCs from hooded pigment rats were exposed to a single-step protocol, including neurosphere-free, containing a cocktail medium that induced transdifferentiation into Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) and retinal cells.
resultsThe results showed morphological differentiation changes in vitro. Also, the expressed retinal pigment epithelium and retinal cell markers, such as retinal orthodenticle homeobox 2 (23.45%), retinal pigment epithelium protein 65 (91.54%), cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein (91.21%), vascular endothelial growth factor (94.79%), rhodopsin (57.19%), glial fibrillary acidic protein (28.33%), and neurofilament 200 (24.55%).
conclusionOverall, these findings showed that a protocol without using basic fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor, and B-27 supplements could generate RPE and retinal cells in vitro.
