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

introduction and purposeMouse mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provide a resourceful tool to study physiological and pathological aspects of adipogenesis. Bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) and adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ASCs) are widely used for these studies. Since there is a wide spectrum of methods available, the purpose is to provide a focused hands-on procedural guide for isolation and characterization of murine BM-MSCs and ASCs and to effectively differentiate them into adipocytes. METHODS AND

resultsOptimized harvesting procedures for murine BM-MSCs and ASCs are described and graphically documented. Since macrophages reside in bone-marrow and fat tissues and regulate the biological behaviour of BM-MSCs and ASCs, we included a procedure to deplete macrophages from the MSC preparations. The identity and stemness of BM-MSCs and ASCs were confirmed by flow cytometry using established markers. Since the composition and concentrations of adipogenic differentiation cocktails differ widely, we present a standardized four-component adipogenic cocktail, consisting of insulin, dexamethasone, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, and indomethacin to efficiently differentiate freshly isolated or frozen/thawed BM-MSCs and ASCs into adipocytes. We further included visualization and quantification protocols of the differentiated adipocytes.

conclusionThis laboratory protocol was designed as a step-by-step procedure for harvesting murine BM-MSCs and ASCs and differentiating them into adipocytes.
