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

During mouse gastrulation, extraembryonic mesoderm (ExEM) contributes to the extraembryonic yolk sac (YS) and allantois, both of which are essential for successful gestation. Although the genetic networks coordinating intra-embryonic mesodermal subtype specification are well studied, ExEM diversification remains poorly understood. Here, we identify that embryoid body (EB) in vitro differentiation generates distinct lineages of mesodermal cells, matching YS and allantois development. Combining in vitro and in vivo mouse models, we discover that Eomesodermin (Eomes) controls the formation of YS-fated ExEM but is dispensable for allantois formation. Furthermore, simultaneous disruption of Eomes and T impedes the specification of any YS or allantois mesoderm, indicating compensatory roles for T during allantois formation upon Eomes depletion. Our study highlights previously unrecognized functional and mechanistic diversity in ExEM diversification and endothelial development and introduces a tractable EB model to dissect the signaling pathways and transcriptional networks driving the formation of key extraembryonic tissues.
