Next-generation sequencing protocol of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Step-by-step overview and troubleshooting guide.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Populations of very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) (CD34+lin-CD45- and CD133+lin-CD45-), circulating in the peripheral blood of adults in small numbers, have been identified in several human tissues and together with the populations of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) (CD34+lin-CD45+) and CD133+lin-CD45+constitute a pool of cells with self-renewal and pluripotent stem cell characteristics. Using advanced cell staining and sorting strategies, we isolated populations of VSELs and HSCs for bulk RNA-Seq analysis to compare the transcriptomic profiles of both cell populations. Libraries were prepared from an extremely small number of cells; however, their good quality was preserved, and they met the criteria for sequencing. We present here a step-by-step NGS protocol for sequencing VSELs and HSC with a description of troubleshooting during library preparation and sequencing.
