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 common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is a genetically modifiable non-human primate increasingly used in biomedical research. Here, we established a method for deriving embryonic stem cells (ESCs) from blastocysts generated by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) in the marmoset. Injection of histone demethylase Kdm4d mRNA enabled efficient reprogramming of somatic nuclei, allowing blastocyst formation in 14.5% from fibroblasts. Combining this method with a G9a/EHMT2 histone methyltransferase inhibitor improved blastocyst quality and allowed derivation of nuclear transfer ESCs (ntESCs), including wild-type and GFP-transgenic lines. These ntESCs exhibited normal karyotypes and pluripotency. Nuclear and mitochondrial DNA analyses confirmed their nuclear donor origin and cytoplasmic inheritance from recipient oocytes. Transcriptome analysis identified abnormally expressed genes in ntESCs present in a line-dependent and independent manner, suggesting partial reprogramming resistance. Our study establishes a marmoset SCNT method enabling derivation of ntESCs and provides a new platform for preserving and engineering marmoset genetic resources.
