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 pluripotent stem cells offer a scalable platform to study genetic and signalling mechanisms governing cell lineage decisions during differentiation. Genome-wide and single-cell transcriptomics technologies likewise offer high-throughput analysis of heterogeneous cell differentiation states. While in vivo development has been extensively characterised using these technologies, there remains a need for comprehensive single-cell transcriptomic profiling of stem cell differentiation from pluripotency. Understanding gene expression changes governing differentiation in vitro is key to developing high fidelity differentiation protocols and understanding fundamental mechanisms of development. We generated a single-cell RNA sequencing time course to study the role of developmental signalling pathways on multilineage diversification from pluripotency in vitro. The combined dataset of over 60,000 cells spans cell types from a time course of differentiation across all germ layers, ranging from gastrulation cell states to progenitor and committed cell types. These data provide a diverse benchmarking reference point to compare against in vivo development and advance understanding of signalling regulation of differentiation, providing insights into protocol development, drug screening, and regenerative medicine applications.
