Taurine Transporter SLC6A6 Expression Promotes Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Function.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) differentiation is critical for the development, maintenance, and repair of bone tissue. This occurs within the bone marrow microenvironment, which consists of various stromal populations and structural components that support skeletal growth, repair and homeostasis. MSCs also promote self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells and regulate their differentiation. Analysis of our own and publicly available single-cell RNA sequencing datasets of the murine non-immune bone and bone marrow indicates that Slc6a6 expression is enriched in MSCs. Slc6a6 encodes for an ion-dependent transporter of taurine (TauT). Although taurine supplements have been shown to mitigate the onset of bone defects in aged populations, the absence of TauT expression in osteolineage cells suggests that taurine's effect on bone may be secondary to its function in other populations, such as MSCs. Using young TauT genetic loss-of-function murine models we find that TauT loss impacts MSC populations
