The effect of BMP4, FGF8 and WNT3a on mouse iPS cells differentiating to odontoblast-like cells.

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
We investigated whether BMP4, FGF8, and/or WNT3a on neural crest-like cells (NCLC) derived from mouse induced pluripotent stem (miPS) cells will promote differentiation of odontoblasts-like cells. After the miPS cells matured into embryonic body (EB) cells, they were cultured in a neural induction medium to produce NCLC. As the differentiation of NCLC were confirmed by RT-qPCR, they were then disassociated and cultured with a medium containing, BMP4, FGF8, and/or WNT3a for 7 and 14 days. The effect of these stimuli on NCLC were assessed by RT-qPCR, ALP staining, and immunocytochemistry. The cultured EB cells presented a significant increase of Snai1, Slug, and Sox 10 substantiating the differentiation of NCLC. NCLC stimulated with more than two stimuli significantly increased the odontoblast markers Dmp-1, Dspp, Nestin, Alp, and Runx2 expression compared to control with no stimulus. The expression of Dmp-1 and Dspp upregulated more when FGF8 was combined with WNT3a. ALP staining was positive in groups containing BMP4 and fluorescence was observed in immunocytochemistry of the common significant groups between Dmp-1 and Dspp. After stimulation, the cell morphology demonstrated a spindle-shaped cells with long projections resembling odontoblasts. Simultaneous BMP4, FGF8, and WNT3a stimuli significantly differentiated NCLC into odontoblast-like cells.
