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

The transition of a cell from a stem to a differentiated state involves an interrelated and complex series of events. These events include dynamic changes in cellular nucleic acid and protein content that are mediated by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors which ultimately lead to differentiation into specific lineage. Quantifying the parameters associated with differentiation and their changes under different conditions would not only allow for a better understanding of this process but also would enable the development of approaches that control differentiation. Here, we describe processes associated with the differentiation of two types of cultured cells, neurons and fibroblasts, and the tools to follow changes in real time. Specifically, we discuss methods to the identify cell lineage, changes in morphology, shifts in specific mRNA and miRNA levels as well as the changes in protein localization, interactions and assemblies that accompany differentiation.
