Novel Blood Vascular Endothelial Subtype-Specific Markers in Human Skin Unearthed by Single-Cell Transcriptomic Profiling.
Article in Cells, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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.
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
Ample evidence pinpoints the phenotypic diversity of blood vessels (BVs) and site-specific functions of their lining endothelial cells (ECs). We harnessed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to dissect the molecular heterogeneity of blood vascular endothelial cells (BECs) in healthy adult human skin and identified six different subpopulations, signifying arterioles, post-arterial capillaries, pre-venular capillaries, post-capillary venules, venules and collecting venules. Individual BEC subtypes exhibited distinctive transcriptomic landscapes associated with diverse biological pathways. These functionally distinct dermal BV segments were characterized by their unique compositions of conventional and novel markers (e.g., arteriole marker GJA5; arteriole capillary markers ASS1 and S100A4; pre-venular capillary markers SOX17 and PLAUR; venular markers EGR2 and LRG1), many of which have been implicated in vascular remodeling upon inflammatory responses. Immunofluorescence staining of human skin sections and whole-mount skin blocks confirmed the discrete expression of these markers along the blood vascular tree in situ, further corroborating BEC heterogeneity in human skin. Overall, our study molecularly refines individual BV compartments, whilst the identification of novel subtype-specific signatures provides more insights for future studies dissecting the responses of distinct vessel segments under pathological conditions.
