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

The mechanisms that determine distinct embryonic pallial identities remain elusive. The central role of Wnt signaling in directing dorsal telencephalic progenitors to the isocortex or hippocampus has been elucidated. Here, we show that timely inhibition of MAPK/ERK and BMP signaling in neuralized mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) specifies a cell identity characteristic of the allocortex. Comparison of the global gene expression profiles of neural cells generated by MAPK/ERK and BMP inhibition (MiBi cells) with those of cells from early postnatal encephalic regions reveals a pallial identity of MiBi cells, distinct from isocortical and hippocampal cells. MiBi cells display a unique pattern of gene expression and connectivity, and share molecular and electrophysiological features with the entorhinal cortex. Our results suggest that early changes in cell signaling can specify distinct pallial fates that are maintained by specific neuronal lineages independent of subsequent embryonic morphogenetic interactions and can determine their functional connectivity.
