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

Patient-derived human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are a valuable tool for validation of retinal gene therapies. These cells exhibit features identical to human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), such as self-renewal and pluripotency, and can differentiate into various retinal cell types, making them ideal for assessing clinically compliant viral vectors in a human retinal context. Several reprogramming methods have been developed, with integration-free methods being preferable due to their low risk of genomic integration and suitability for clinical applications. This chapter details the generation and characterization of patient-derived hiPSC lines from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using non-integrative Sendai virus, with a focus on the thorough quality control (QC) necessary post-reprogramming. The QC includes confirming the expression of undifferentiated stem cell markers, the ability to differentiate into the three germ layers, and the absence of chromosomal abnormalities. This protocol provides a stepwise procedure for generating hiPSCs using an integration-free approach in 4 weeks.
