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

Previous studies have demonstrated the existence of intermediate stem cells, which have been successfully obtained from human naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) and peri-implantation embryos. However, it is not known whether human extended pluripotent stem cells (hEPSCs) can be directly induced into intermediate stem cells. Moreover, the ability of extra-embryonic lineage differentiation in intermediate stem cells has not been verified. In this issue, we transformed hEPSCs into a kind of novel intermediate pluripotent stem cell resembling embryonic days 8-9 (E8-E9) epiblasts and proved its feature of formative epiblasts. We engineered hEPSCs from primed hPSCs under N2B27-LCDM (N2B27 plus Lif, CHIR, DiH and MiH) conditions. Then, we added Activin A, FGF and XAV939 to modulate signalling pathways related to early humans' embryogenesis. We performed RNA-seq and CUT&Tag analysis to compare with AF9-hPSCs from different pluripotency stages of hPSCs. Trophectoderm (TE), primordial germ cells-like cells (PGCLC) and endoderm, mesoderm, and neural ectoderm induction were conducted by specific small molecules and proteins. AF9-hPSCs transcription resembled that of E8-E9 peri-implantation epiblasts. Signalling pathway responsiveness and histone methylation further revealed their formative pluripotency. Additionally, AF9-hPSCs responded directly to primordial germ cells (PGCs) specification and three germ layer differentiation signals in vitro. Moreover, AF9-hPSCs could differentiate into the TE lineage. Therefore, AF9-hPSCs represented an E8-E9 formative pluripotency state between naïve and primed pluripotency, opening new avenues for studying human pluripotency development during embryogenesis.
