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 placenta is an essential organ that supports the growth and development of the fetus during pregnancy. However, cell type-specific enhancers and transcription factors (TFs), and the mechanisms underlying the maintenance and differentiation of trophoblast stem cell (TSC) populations in the human placenta remain elusive. Here, using human TSCs as a model system, we identify 31,362 enhancers that are enriched with the motifs of previously reported TSC-pivotal TFs, including TEAD4, GATA2/3 and TFAP2C. Subsequently, we identify 580 super-enhancers (SEs) and 549 SE-associated genes. These genes are robustly expressed in the human placenta and include numerous TFs, implying that SE-associated TFs (SE-TFs) may play crucial roles in placental development. Additionally, we identify the global binding sites of five TSC-pivotal SE-TFs (FOS, GATA2, MAFK, TEAD4 and TFAP2C), revealing that they preferentially co-occupy enhancers, regulate each other and form a trophoblast-active gene regulatory network. Loss-of-function studies unveil that the five TFs promote self-renewal of TSCs by activating proliferation-associated genes while repressing developmental genes. We further reveal that the five TFs exert conserved and unique functions on placental development between humans and mice. Our study provides important insights into the roles of human TSC-pivotal TFs in regulating placenta-specific gene expression programs.
