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

Lineage analysis plays a central role in exploring the developmental potential of stem and progenitor cell populations. In higher vertebrates, a variety of techniques have been used to label individual cells or cell populations, including interspecies grafting, intracellular microinjection, and Cre-mediated recombination. However, these approaches often suffer from difficulties in progenitor cell targeting, low cellular resolution and/or ectopic labeling. To circumvent these issues, here we utilize replication incompetent avian (RIA) retroviruses to deliver combinations of fluorescent proteins into distinct cellular compartments in chick embryos. In particular, RIA-mediated lineage tracing is optimal for long term mapping of dispersing cell populations like the neural crest. Using this tool, we confirm that trunk neural crest cells are multipotent. Furthermore, our RIA vector is engineered to be fully adaptable for other purposes such as cell fate analysis, gene perturbation studies and time-lapse imaging. Taken together, we present a novel approach of multiplex lineage analysis that can be applied to normal and perturbed development of diverse cell populations in avian embryos.
