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

Endothelial cells play multiple roles during pancreas organogenesis. First, they are required to instruct endoderm-derived pancreatic progenitor cells to initiate branching morphogenesis. Later, blood vessels promote β-cell differentiation but also limit acinar development. In this work, we show how endothelial cells might signal to pancreatic progenitors and spatially regulate acinar differentiation. Using an ex vivo culture system of undifferentiated E12.5 pancreata, we demonstrate that embryonic endothelial progenitor cells and their conditioned medium prevent the expression of two members of the pro-acinar transcriptional PTF1L-complex. This effect is not mediated by SPARC, a protein abundantly released in the medium conditioned by endothelial progenitors. On the contrary, heterotrimeric laminin-α1β1γ1, also produced by endothelial progenitor cells, can repress acinar differentiation when used on its own on pancreatic explants. Lastly, we found that laminin-α1 is predominantly found in vivo around the pancreatic trunk cells, as compared to the tip cells, at E14.5. In conclusion, we propose that expression or deposition of laminin-α1β1γ1 around the trunk cells, where blood vessels are predominantly localized, prevent acinar differentiation of these cells. On the contrary, transient decreased expression or deposition of laminin-α1β1γ1 around the tip cells would allow PTF1L-complex formation and acinar differentiation.
