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

backgroundOne promising strategy to generate humanized organs is through embryo complementation by injecting human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into gene-edited porcine embryos. This strategy is predicated on how human cells adapt to a porcine environment, which has a body temperature of 38.5 °C, much higher than that of the human body.

resultsHere, we present an in vitro model to address this problem by coculturing human and porcine induced PSCs at 38.5 °C and inducing them to generate cardiomyocytes. We show that co-cultured human cells can differentiate into myocardial features with the help of porcine cells at an enhanced differentiation rate. Mechanistically, we show that co-cultured human cells respond to elevated temperature by activating a stress response with the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway activated. Moreover, a model mimicking embryo complementation by knocking out MYH6 in pig PSCs reveals the potential risk of porcine cells leaking into human-derived tissues.

conclusionsTogether, our studies present a novel model system to evaluate human and porcine cell co-differentiation that may guide the planning of in vivo experiments.
