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

The human primed pluripotent state is maintained by a complex balance of several signaling pathways governing pluripotency maintenance and commitment. Here, we explore a multiparameter approach using a full factorial design and a simple well-defined culture system to assess individual and synergistic contributions of Wnt, FGF and TGFβ signaling to pluripotency and lineage specification of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC). Hierarchical clustering and quadratic models highlighted a dominant effect of Wnt signaling over FGF and TGFβ signaling, drawing hiPSCs towards mesendoderm lineages. In addition, a synergistic effect between Wnt signaling and FGF was observed to have a negative contribution to pluripotency maintenance and a positive contribution to ectoderm and mesoderm commitment. Furthermore, FGF and TGFβ signaling only contributed significantly for negative ectoderm scores, suggesting that the effect of both factors for pluripotency maintenance resides in a balance of inhibitory signals instead of proactive stimulation of hiPSC pluripotency. Overall, our dry-signaling multiparameter modeling approach can contribute to elucidate individual and synergistic inputs, providing an additional degree of comprehension of the complex regulatory mechanisms of human pluripotency and commitment.
