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 mammary epithelial cell (MEC) system is a bilayered ductal epithelium of luminal and basal cells, maintained by a lineage of stem and progenitor populations. Here, we used integrated single-cell transcriptomics and chromatin accessibility analysis to reconstruct the cell types of the mouse MEC system and their underlying gene regulatory features in an unbiased manner. We define differentiation states within the secretory type of luminal cells, which forms a continuous spectrum of general luminal progenitor and lactation-committed progenitor cells. By integrating single-cell transcriptomics and chromatin accessibility landscapes, we identify cis- and trans-regulatory elements that are differentially activated in the specific epithelial cell types and our newly defined luminal differentiation states. Our work provides a resource to reveal cis/trans-regulatory elements associated with MEC identity and differentiation that will serve as a reference to determine how the chromatin accessibility landscape changes during breast cancer.
