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 genetics has identified numerous copy-number variations (CNVs) associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). However, the lack of standardized biological resources impedes understanding of the cell-type-specific common features of ASD. Here, we establish a biological resource including 63 genetically modified mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) lines as genetic models of ASD. We perform neural differentiation using 12 representative cell lines, and their comprehensive analyses, including single-cell RNA sequencing, uncover cell-type-specific susceptible pathways. Moreover, we find that a common phenotype in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons is reduced expression of Upf3b, a core member of the translational termination and nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). This finding emphasizes that the dysfunction of translational machinery in the developing neurons can be a possible target of early intervention for ASD. This ESC model bank becomes an invaluable resource for studies in vitro and in vivo of ASD or other neuropsychiatric disorders.
