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

Mutations in the FOXF1 gene, a key transcriptional regulator of pulmonary vascular development, cause Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia with Misalignment of Pulmonary Veins, a lethal lung disease affecting newborns and infants. Identification of new FOXF1 upstream regulatory elements is critical to explain why frequent non-coding FOXF1 deletions are linked to the disease. Herein, we use multiome single-nuclei RNA and ATAC sequencing of mouse and human patient lungs to identify four conserved endothelial and mesenchymal FOXF1 enhancers. We demonstrate that endothelial FOXF1 enhancers are autoactivated, whereas mesenchymal FOXF1 enhancers are regulated by EBF1 and GLI1. The cell-specificity of FOXF1 enhancers is validated by disrupting these enhancers in mouse embryonic stem cells using CRISPR/Cpf1 genome editing followed by lineage-tracing of mutant embryonic stem cells in mouse embryos using blastocyst complementation. This study resolves an important clinical question why frequent non-coding FOXF1 deletions that interfere with endothelial and mesenchymal enhancers can lead to the disease.
