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

Cortical radial glia (RGs) sequentially generate pyramidal neurons (PyNs) and glia. In this study, we investigated the cell-intrinsic programs underlying cortical cellular diversification using time-series scRNA-seq and snATAC-seq on purified mouse cortical progenitors across embryonic and postnatal stages. Our data revealed that RGs transition from early to late over time, sequentially producing intermediate neuronal progenitors (INPs) and intermediate glial progenitors (IGPs). Although INPs expand exclusively to generate PyNs, IGPs progress from young to old, sequentially producing cortical astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and olfactory bulb interneurons. We constructed comprehensive molecular maps that reflect cell lineage progression. In particular, we found that chromatin accessibility drives cortical cellular diversification by restricting broadly expressed transcription factors to specific stages and cell types. Developmental changes in chromatin accessibility confine
