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

backgroundInduced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived neural stem cells (NSCs) provide a potential for autologous neural transplantation therapy following neurological insults. Thus far, in preclinical studies the donor iPSCs-NSCs are mostly of human or mouse origin with concerns centering around graft rejection when applied to rat brain injury models. For better survival and integration of transplanted cells in the injured brain in rat models, use of rat-iPSC-NSCs and in combination with biomaterials is of advantageous. Herein, we report a detailed method in generating rat iPSCs with improved reprogramming efficiency and differentiation into neurons. NEW

methodRat fibroblasts were reprogrammed into iPSCs with polybrene and EF1α-STEMCCA-LoxP lentivirus vector. Pluripotency characterization, differentiation into neuronal linage cells were assessed with RT-qPCR, Western blotting, immunostaining and patch-clamp methods. Cells were cultured in a custom-designed integrin array system as well as in a hydrogel-based 3D condition.

resultsWe describe a thorough method for the generation of rat-iPSC-NSCs, and identify integrin α COMPARISON WITH EXISTING

methodsPublished studies about rat-iPSC-NSCs are rare. This study provides a detailed protocol for the generation of rat iPSC-NSCs and optimal growth conditions for neuronal differentiation. Our method is useable for studies to assess the utility of rat iPSC-NSCs for neural transplantation in rat brain injury models.
