Generation, genomic characterization, and differentiation of triploid human embryonic stem cells.
Article in Stem cell reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Humans are diploid organisms, and triploidy in human embryos is responsible for ∼10% of spontaneous miscarriages. Surprisingly, some pregnancies proceed to triploid newborns that suffer from many neuro-developmental disorders. To investigate the impact of triploidy on human development, we generate triploid human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) by fusing isogenic haploid and diploid hESCs. Comparison of the transcriptome, methylome, and genome-wide replication timing shows general similarity between diploid and triploid hESCs. However, triploid cells have a larger volume than diploid cells, demonstrating decreased surface-area-to-volume ratio. This leads to a significant downregulation of cell surface ion channel genes, which are more essential in neural progenitors than in undifferentiated cells, leading to inhibition of differentiation, and it affects the neuronal differentiation ability of triploid hESCs, both in vitro and in vivo. Notably, our research establishes a platform to study triploidy in humans and points to their pathology as observed in triploid embryos.
