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

backgroundHuman embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived endothelial cells (ECs) possess therapeutic potential in many diseases. Cytokine supplementation induction and transcription factor overexpression have become two mainstream methods of hESC-EC induction. Single-cell RNA-seq technology has been widely used to analyse dynamic processes during hESC-EC induction and components of induced endothelial cells. However, studies that used single-cell RNA-seq are mainly based on cytokine supplementation methods. In this study, we used a high-efficiency human embryonic stem cell-endothelial cell line (hESC-EC) called the "FLI1-PKC system" as a research model and employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to investigate the transcriptional landscape and cellular dynamics.

methodsThe high-efficiency hESC-EC induction (FLI1-PKC) system was established in our previous study. We applied single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of the differentiated cells at different time points and investigated the gene expression profiles.

resultsThe FLI1-PKC induction system can directionally differentiate hESCs into mature endothelial cells with all the requisite functions. Unlike other hES-EC induction protocols, the FLI1-PKC method follows a different induction route; nonetheless, the transcriptome of induced endothelial cells (iECs) remains the same. The elevated number of activated transcription factors may explain why the FLI1-PKC system is more effective than other hES-EC protocols.

conclusionOur study has presented a single-cell transcriptional overview of a high-efficiency hESC-EC induction system, which can be used as a model and reference for further improvement in other hESC induction systems.
