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

backgroundBasophils and mast cells contribute to the development of allergic reactions. Whereas these mature effector cells are extensively studied, the differentiation trajectories from hematopoietic progenitors to basophils and mast cells are largely uncharted at the single-cell level.

methodsWe performed multicolor flow cytometry, high-coverage single-cell RNA sequencing analyses, and cell fate assays to chart basophil and mast cell differentiation at single-cell resolution in mouse.

resultsAnalysis of flow cytometry data reconstructed a detailed map of basophil and mast cell differentiation, including a bifurcation of progenitors into two specific trajectories. Molecular profiling and pseudotime ordering of the single cells revealed gene expression changes during differentiation. Cell fate assays showed that multicolor flow cytometry and transcriptional profiling successfully predict the bipotent phenotype of a previously uncharacterized population of peritoneal basophil-mast cell progenitors.

conclusionsA combination of molecular and functional profiling of bone marrow and peritoneal cells provided a detailed road map of basophil and mast cell development. An interactive web resource was created to enable the wider research community to explore the expression dynamics for any gene of interest.
