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

backgroundTo further understand the development of the spinal cord, an exploration of the patterns and transcriptional features of spinal cord development in newborn mice at the cellular transcriptome level was carried out.

methodsThe mouse single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq) dataset was downloaded from the GSE108788 dataset. Single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) was conducted on cervical and lumbar spinal V2a interneurons from 2 P0 neonates. Single-cell analysis using the Seurat package was completed, and marker mRNAs were identified for each cluster. Then, pseudotemporal analysis was used to analyze the transcription changes of marker mRNAs in different clusters over time. Finally, the functions of these marker mRNAs were assessed by enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. A transcriptional regulatory network was then constructed using the TRRUST dataset.

resultsA total of 949 cells were screened. Single-cell analysis was conducted based on marker mRNAs of each cluster, which revealed the heterogeneity of neonatal mouse spinal cord neuronal cells. Functional analysis of pseudotemporal trajectory-related marker mRNAs suggested that pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) and carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecules (CEACAMs) were the core mRNAs in cluster 3. GSVA analysis then demonstrated that the different clusters had differences in pathway activity. By constructing a transcriptional regulatory network, USF2 was identified to be a transcriptional regulator of CEACAM1 and CEACAM5, while KLF6 was identified to be a transcriptional regulator of PSG3 and PSG5. This conclusion was then validated using the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) spinal cord transcriptome dataset.

conclusionsThis study completed an integrated analysis of a single-cell dataset with the utilization of marker mRNAs. USF2/CEACAM1&5 and KLF6/PSG3&5 transcriptional regulatory networks were identified by spinal cord single-cell analysis.
