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

Human brain development requires generating diverse cell types, a process explored by single-cell transcriptomics. Through parallel meta-analyses of the human cortex in development (seven datasets) and adulthood (16 datasets), we generated over 500 gene co-expression networks that can describe mechanisms of cortical development, centering on peak stages of neurogenesis. These meta-modules show dynamic cell subtype specificities throughout cortical development, with several developmental meta-modules displaying spatiotemporal expression patterns that allude to potential roles in cell fate specification. We validated the expression of these modules in primary human cortical tissues. These include meta-module 20, a module elevated in FEZF2
