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

When introduced into P19 embryonal carcinoma cells, recombinant genes encoding MyoD converted only a small percentage (< 3%) of the transfected cells into skeletal muscle. We isolated stably transfected cells that expressed the MyoD transcript. These P19[MyoD] cells continued to express markers characteristic of undifferentiated stem cells but also expressed myf-5 and the myotonic dystrophy kinase, transcripts normally present in myoblasts but absent from P19 cells. Aggregation of P19[MyoD] cells induced the expression of myogenin, desmin, and the retinoblastoma protein and resulted in the rapid and abundant development of skeletal muscle. Both the embryonic and the slow isoforms of myosin heavy chain were present in this muscle, indicating that it resembled skeletal muscle formed from primary myoblasts. Since aggregation of P19 cells normally results in inefficient differentiation and the development of only low levels of cardiac muscle but no skeletal muscle, we conclude that MyoD imposes the skeletal muscle program on P19 cells and that the differentiation of these cells requires inductive events provided by cell aggregation.
