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

Differentiating endothelial cells (ECs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) typically takes 2 weeks and requires parameter optimization. Overexpression of cell type-specific transcription factors in hPSCs has shown efficient differentiation into various cell types. ETV2, a crucial transcription factor for endothelial fate, can be overexpressed in hPSCs to induce rapid and facile EC differentiation (iETV2-ECs). We developed a two-stage strategy which involves differentiating inducible ETV2-overexpressing hPSCs in a basal induction medium during stage I and expanding them in an endothelial medium during stage II. By optimizing seeding density and medium composition, we achieved 99% pure CD31+ CD144+ iETV2-ECs without cell sorting in 5 days. iETV2-ECs demonstrated in vitro angiogenesis potential, LDL uptake, and cytokine response. Transcriptomic comparisons revealed similar gene expression profiles between iETV2-ECs and traditionally differentiated ECs. Additionally, iETV2-ECs responded to Wnt signaling agonist and TGFβ inhibitor to acquire brain EC phenotypes, making them a scalable EC source for applications including blood-brain barrier modeling.
