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

Transgene expression in stem cells is a powerful means of regulating cellular properties and differentiation into various cell types. However, existing vectors for transgene expression in stem cells suffer from limitations such as the need for genomic integration, the transient nature of gene expression, and the inability to temporally regulate transgene expression, which hinder biomedical and clinical applications. Here we report a new class of RNA virus-based vectors for scalable and integration-free transgene expression in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). The vector is equipped with a small molecule-regulated riboswitch and a drug selection marker that allow temporal regulation of transgene expression and stable maintenance of the vector in proliferating stem cells. We demonstrated the utility of the vector by maintaining the pluripotency of mESCs in a differentiation induction medium by expressing Nanog and inducing myogenic differentiation by triggering Myod1 expression, without altering the mESC genome.
