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

Chemical reprogramming enables the generation of human pluripotent stem (hCiPS) cells from somatic cells using small molecules, providing a promising strategy for regenerative medicine. However, the current method is time consuming, and some cell lines from different donors are resistant to chemical induction, limiting the utility of this approach. Here, we developed a fast reprogramming system capable of generating hCiPS cells in as few as 10 days. This accelerated method enables efficient generation of hCiPS cells with a consistent 100% success rate across 15 different donors, increasing efficiency by over 20-fold within 16 days, especially for previously resistant cells. Mechanistically, we identified KAT3A/KAT3B and KAT6A as key epigenetic obstacles; suppressing these factors facilitated the transition of somatic cells to a poised state by triggering switches in the epigenome. These results highlight the superiority of this system for generating hCiPS cells, which represents a next-generation approach for manufacturing cells for further applications.
