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

Several models of cell fate determination can be invoked to explain how single retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) produce different cell types in a terminal division. To gain insight into this process, the effects of the removal of a cell fate regulator, Notch1, were studied in newly postmitotic cells using a conditional allele of Notch1 (N1-CKO) in mice. Almost all newly postmitotic N1-CKO cells became rod photoreceptors, whereas wild-type (WT) cells achieved a variety of fates. Single cell profiling of wild-type and N1-CKO retinal cells transitioning from progenitor to differentiated states revealed differential expression of inhibitor of DNA binding factors Id1 and Id3, as well as Notch-regulated ankyrin repeat protein (Nrarp). Misexpression of Id1 and Id3 was found to be sufficient to drive production of Müller glial cells and/or RPCs. Moreover, Id1 and Id3 were shown to partially rescue the production of bipolar and Müller glial cells in the absence of Notch1 in mitotic and newly postmitotic cells. Misexpression of Nrarp, a downstream target gene and inhibitor of the Notch signaling pathway, resulted in the overproduction of rod photoreceptors at the expense of Müller glial cells. These data demonstrate that cell fate decisions can be made in newly postmitotic retinal cells, and reveal some of the regulators downstream of Notch1 that influence the choice of rod and non-rod fates. Taken together, our results begin to address how different signals downstream from a common pathway lead to different fate outcomes.
