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

Due to their self-renewal and differentiation capabilities, pluripotent stem cells hold immense potential for advancing our understanding of human disease and developing cell-based or pharmacological interventions. Realizing this potential, however, requires a thorough understanding of the basal cellular mechanisms which occur during differentiation. Lipids are critical molecules that define the morphological, biochemical, and functional role of cells. This, combined with emerging evidence linking lipids to neurodegeneration, cardiovascular health, and other diseases, makes lipids a critical class of analytes to assess normal and abnormal cellular processes. While previous work has examined the lipid composition of stem cells, uncertainties remain about which changes are conserved and which are unique across distinct cell types. In this study, we investigated lipid alterations of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) at critical stages of differentiation toward neural or mesodermal fates. Lipidomic analyses of distinct differentiation stages were completed using a platform coupling liquid chromatography, ion mobility spectrometry, and mass spectrometry (LC-IMS-MS) separations. Results illustrated a shared triacylglyceride and free fatty acid accumulation in early iPSCs that were utilized at different stages of differentiation. Unique fluctuations through differentiation were also observed for certain phospholipid classes, sphingomyelins, and ceramides. These insights into lipid fluctuations across iPSC differentiation enhance our fundamental understanding of lipid metabolism within pluripotent stem cells and during differentiation, while also paving the way for a more precise and effective application of pluripotent stem cells in human disease interventions.
