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

Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) has been shown to exhibit an osteogenic property and, therefore, has been utilized recently as a bone substitute, clinically. However, the stimulatory capacity for induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells is not known. This study investigated whether OCP enhances osteoblastic differentiation of three-dimensionally cultured spheroids of iPS cells compared to hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). Mouse iPS cells were mixed with smaller (less than 53 μm) or larger (300-500 μm) sizes of calcium phosphate (CaP) granules and cultured in a laboratory-developed oxygen-permeable culture chip under minimizing hypoxia for up to 21 days. Osteoblastic differentiation was estimated by the cellular alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities. The degree of supersaturation (DS) with respect to CaP phases was determined from the media chemical compositions. Incubated CaP materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The culture promoted well the formation of hybrid spheroids of CaP materials and iPS cells regardless of the type of materials and their granule sizes. The ALP activity of OCP was about 1.5 times higher than that of β-TCP and HA in smaller granule sizes. FTIR, XRD, and DS analyses showed that larger OCP granules tended to hydrolyze to HA slightly faster than smaller granules with time while HA and β-TCP materials tended to remain unchanged. In conclusion, the results suggest that OCP enhances the osteogenic differentiation of iPS cells more than HA and β-TCP through a mechanism of hydrolyzing to HA. This inherent material property of OCP is essential for enhancing the osteoblastic differentiation of iPS cells.
