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

We previously established the measles virus (MeV) vector for reprogramming somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs); however, efficiency was limited to 0.2%. Here, we present the next generation that reprograms with an average efficiency of up to 2.3% and with similar or superior efficiency to the Sendai system. Twenty of the ninety iPSC isolated clones were amplified and analyzed. All clones showed a strong induction of endogenous pluripotency-associated markers SSEA-4, TRA-1-81, TRA-1-60, and NANOG. Analysis of the N mRNA transcript over passages showed rapid elimination of the vector from the iPSC at or before passage four. The pluripotency propensity was further analyzed using spontaneous and guided differentiation into three germ layers. All clones showed similar ability to differentiate into hematopoietic, pancreatic, and neuronal progenitor cells. In conclusion, this study shows that this new MeV reprogramming vector has a comparable or higher reprogramming efficiency than currently available systems and offers faster vector elimination from iPSCs. It uses a lower multiplicity of transduction as it uses a single vector versus multiple vectors. Finally, MeV produces iPSCs that can differentiate into multiple cell types. This makes MeV an efficient reprogramming platform for iPSC generation from patient samples.
