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

backgroundEpiblasts occur at the last pluripotent stage of embryonic development and are important in elucidating how the three germ layers are formed. However, little is known of the molecular mechanisms of their development. We have shown that LIM homeobox 1 (Lhx1) was involved in epiblast development in embryonic stem cells, especially meso- and endodermal differentiation. However, since epiblasts in embryoid bodies spontaneously develop into a further stage, it is difficult to study their development in this system.

methodsMouse embryonal carcinoma P19 cells which have properties similar to those of epiblasts provided new avenues of investigation into the regulatory mechanism of epiblasts.

resultsOverexpression of Lhx1 in P19 cells induced expression of organizer marker genes (Cer1, Gsc) and endoderm marker genes (Gata6, Foxa2, Sox17) but not extra-embryonic endoderm marker genes (Sox7 or Hnf4alpha).

conclusionThis study suggested that Lhx1 overexpression caused P19 cells to differentiate into an endodermal lineage. Thus, P19 cells and their derivatives can be a useful model system to study how the three germ layers are formed.
