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

Hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) can be derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) by sequential treatment of chemical cues to mimic the microenvironment of embryonic liver development. However, these HLCs do not reach the full maturity level of primary hepatocytes. In this study, we carried out a meta-analysis of cross-species transcriptome data of in vitro differentiation of human PSCs to HLCs and in vivo mouse embryonic liver development to identify the developmental stage at which HLC maturation was blocked at. Systematic variations were found associated with the data source and removed by batch correction. Using principal component analysis, HLCs from different stages of differentiation were aligned with mouse embryonic liver development chronologically. A "unified developmental time" (DT) scale was developed after aligning in vitro HLC differentiation and in vivo embryonic liver development. HLCs were found to cease further maturation at an equivalent stage of mouse embryonic day (E)13-15. Genes with discordant time dynamics were identified by aligning in vivo and in vitro data set onto a common DT scale. These genes may be targets of genetic intervention for enhancing the maturity of PSC-derived HLCs.
