Human embryonic stem cell-specific role of YAP in maintenance of self-renewal and survival.

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
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have unique characteristics, such as self-renewal and pluripotency, which are distinct from those of other cell types. These characteristics of hESCs are tightly regulated by complex signaling mechanisms. In this study, we demonstrate that yes-associated protein (YAP) functions in an hESC-specific manner to maintain self-renewal and survival in hESCs. hESCs were highly sensitive to YAP downregulation to promote cell survival. Interestingly, hESCs displayed dynamic changes in YAP expression in response to YAP downregulation. YAP was critical for the maintenance of self-renewal. Additionally, the function of YAP in maintenance of self-renewal and cell survival was hESC-specific. Doxycycline upregulated YAP in hESCs and attenuated the decreased cell survival induced by YAP downregulation. However, decreased expression of self-renewal markers triggered by YAP downregulation and neural/cardiac differentiation were affected by doxycycline treatment. Collectively, the results reveal the mechanism underlying the role of YAP and the novel function of doxycycline in hESCs.
