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

Neural crest cells (NCCs) are central to vertebrate embryonic development, giving rise to diverse cell types with unique migratory and differentiation capacities. This study examines the molecular characteristics of cranial neural crest cell (CNCC)-derived mesenchymal cells, specifically those from teeth which in deer show continuous but limited growth, and antlers, which exhibit remarkable regenerative capabilities. Here, through single-cell RNA sequencing analysis, we uncover shared gene expression profiles between adult antlerogenic and dental mesenchymal cells, indicating common developmental pathways. We identify a striking resemblance in transcriptomic features between antlerogenic progenitor cells and dental pulp mesenchymal cells. Comparative analysis of CNCC-derived and non-CNCC-derived mesenchymal cell pools across species reveals core signature genes associated with CNCCs and their derivatives, delineating essential connections between CNCCs and CNCC-derived adult mesenchymal pools. Furthermore, whole-genome DNA methylation analysis unveils hypomethylation of CNCC derivate signature genes in regenerative antlerogenic periosteum, implying a role in maintaining multipotency. These findings offer crucial insights into the developmental biology and regenerative potential of CNCC-derived mesenchymal cells, laying a foundation for innovative therapeutic strategies in tissue regeneration.
