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

Studies of the avian gastrointestinal tract, where nutrient absorption and key host-pathogen interactions occur, have been strongly enabled by the development of intestinal organoid models. Here we report a single cell transcriptomic atlas of intestinal organoid cells derived from embryos of broiler and layer chickens, capturing mesenchymal, epithelial, endothelial, immune and neuronal cell lineages. Eight inferred mesenchymal subpopulations reflect anatomically distinct intestinal layers, including fibroblasts, telocytes, myofibroblasts, smooth myocytes, pericytes, and interstitial cells of Cajal. Identified heterogeneity within the epithelial lineage included enterocytes, goblet cells, Paneth cells, tuft cells, and diverse enteroendocrine cell subtypes. Additionally, we identified candidate macrophages, monocytes, γδ T cells, NK cells and granulocytes. Layer and broiler organoids showed significant differences in cell-specific transcriptome, most pronounced in epithelial cells, pointing to divergent selection on intestinal physiology. Our analysis finally provides a catalogue of novel cell marker genes to enable future research of chicken intestinal organoids.
