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

Loss of chromosome Y (LOY) occurs in aging and cancers, but its extent and implications in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have not been studied. Here, we analyzed over 2,650 RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) samples from hESCs and their differentiated derivatives to detect LOY. We found that 12% of hESC samples have lost their chromosome Y and identified LOY in all three germ layers. Differential expression analysis revealed that LOY samples showed a decrease in expression of pluripotency markers and in ribosomal protein (RP) genes. Strikingly, significant RP transcription downregulation was observed in most RP genes, although there is only one expressed Y-linked RP gene. We further analyzed RP expression in Turner syndrome and Diamond-Blackfan anemia samples and observed overall downregulation of RP transcription. This broad analysis sheds light on the scope and effects of LOY in hESCs, suggesting a novel dosage-sensitive mechanism regulating RP gene transcription in LOY and autosomal ribosomopathies.
