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

Differences in gene-expression profiles between individual cells can give rise to distinct cell fate decisions. Yet how localisation on a micropattern impacts initial changes in mRNA, protein, and phosphoprotein abundance remains unclear. To identify the effect of cellular position on gene expression, we developed a scalable antibody and mRNA targeting sequential fluorescence in situ hybridisation (ARTseq-FISH) method capable of simultaneously profiling mRNAs, proteins, and phosphoproteins in single cells. We studied 67 (phospho-)protein and mRNA targets in individual mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) cultured on circular micropatterns. ARTseq-FISH reveals relative changes in both abundance and localisation of mRNAs and (phospho-)proteins during the first 48 hours of exit from pluripotency. We confirm these changes by conventional immunofluorescence and time-lapse microscopy. Chemical labelling, immunofluorescence, and single-cell time-lapse microscopy further show that cells closer to the edge of the micropattern exhibit increased proliferation compared to cells at the centre. Together these data suggest that while gene expression is still highly heterogeneous position-dependent differences in mRNA and protein levels emerge as early as 12 hours after LIF withdrawal.
