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

Early embryonic development is a finely orchestrated process that requires precise regulation of gene expression coordinated with morphogenetic events. TATA-box binding protein-associated factors (TAFs), integral components of transcription initiation coactivators like TFIID and SAGA, play a crucial role in this intricate process. Here we show that disruptions in TAF5, TAF12 and TAF13 individually lead to embryonic lethality in the mouse, resulting in overlapping yet distinct phenotypes. Taf5 and Taf12 mutant embryos exhibited a failure to implant post-blastocyst formation, and Taf5 mutants have aberrant lineage specification within the inner cell mass. In contrast, Taf13 mutant embryos successfully implant and form egg-cylinder stages but fail to initiate gastrulation. Strikingly, we observed a depletion of pluripotency factors in TAF13-deficient embryos, including OCT4, NANOG and SOX2, highlighting an indispensable role of TAF13 in maintaining pluripotency. Transcriptomic analysis revealed distinct gene targets affected by the loss of TAF5, TAF12 and TAF13. Thus, we propose that TAF5, TAF12 and TAF13 convey locus specificity to the TFIID complex throughout the mouse genome.
