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.
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
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) hold great potential in regenerative medicine, disease modeling and cell biology studies. Reprogramming of mouse and human cells can be achieved through the introduction of transcription factors such as Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc (OSKM), or by chemical stimulation via exposure to small molecules. However, the role of ion compounds in reprogramming has remained relatively unexplored. Herein, we identify iridium (Ir)(III) complexes that enhance iPSC generation by promoting the perinuclear clustering of mitochondria. Mechanistically, Ir(III) complexes promote the nuclear localization of TCA cycle enzyme Pdha1 and increase the cellular acetyl-CoA, leading to chromatin remodeling at pluripotency genes by enhancing histones H3 and H4 acetylation. Our results reveal an important role for Ir(III) complexes in epigenetic regulation of cell fate and suggest a novel approach for iPSC generation.
