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

The reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is a crucial development in regenerative medicine, providing patient-specific cells for therapeutic uses. Traditional methods often utilize viral vectors and transcription factors that pose tumorigenic risks, rendering them unsuitable for clinical applications. This study explored the use of chemicals as a non-tumorigenic alternative for cell reprogramming. Utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we previously created iPSCs expressing OCT4-EGFP and NANOG-tdTomato, and derived OCT4-EGFP and NANOG-tdTomato fibroblastic cells (ON-FCs). These cells were reprogrammed using episomal vectors, and their pluripotency was validated by fluorescence and FACS analyses. High-content screening was employed to assess small molecules that improve reprogramming efficiency, confirming the usefulness of ON-FCs as a dual reporter cell line for identifying small molecules effective in generating human iPSCs. This study underscores the utility of a dual reporter system and high-content screening in identifying effective reprogramming chemicals, establishing a scalable platform for high-throughput screening. Discovering new chemicals that can reprogram iPSCs would provide a non-tumorigenic method to advance the field of regenerative medicine. [BMB Reports 2025; 58(4): 183-189].
