Changes in the Proportion of Each Cell Type After hiPSC-Derived Airway Epithelia Transplantation.
Article in Cell transplantation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
No radical treatment is available for the regeneration of dysfunction and defects in airway epithelia. Artificial tracheae made of polypropylene and collagen sponge were used in clinical studies to reconstitute tracheae after resection. For early epithelialization of the luminal surface of the artificial trachea, a model was established, that is, an artificial trachea covered with human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived airway epithelial cells (hiPSC-AECs) was transplanted into a tracheal defect in an immunodeficient rat. Unlike the cell types of hiPSC-derived cells that are currently used in clinical studies, AECs maintain tissues by proliferation and differentiation of basal cells into various cell types that constitute AECs constantly. Therefore, post-transplantation, the proportion of each cell type, such as ciliated and goblet cells, may change; however, no studies have examined this possibility. In this study, using our hiPSC-AEC-transplanted rat model, we investigated changes in the proportion of each cell type in hiPSC-AECs pre-transplantation and post-transplantation. As a result, the proportion of each cell type changed post-transplantation. The proportion of ciliated, basal, and club cells increased, and the proportion of goblet cells decreased post-transplantation. In addition, the proportion of each cell type in engrafted hiPSC-AECs is more similar to the proportion of each cell type in normal proximal airway tissue than the proportion of each cell type pre-transplantation. The results of this study are useful for the development of therapeutic techniques using hiPSC-AEC transplantation.
