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

Analysis of a cell's replication timing (RT) provides insight into how genes replicate, early or late, during the S-phase of the cell cycle. RT is cell-type specific, inheritable, and has been correlated to gene expression in normal and diseased states. However, most studies have been limited to somatic cells. Very little is known about RT control in early mouse embryos, and how it correlates with the start of transcription during zygote gene activation (ZGA), at the 2-cell stage. In this study, we develop an in-house single-cell multiomics approach to simultaneously analyze RT and gene expression in individual cells of the mouse 1-cell, 2-cell, and 4-cell embryos. We detect that RT is established at the 1-cell stage prior to ZGA. Surprisingly, we observe that the coordinated RT and gene expression control is different in early totipotent embryos, compared to previously published studies in somatic cells. Late replicating regions correlate with higher gene expression and open chromatin in the early developing embryos. Lastly, we perform an integrated pseudo time trajectory analysis combining RT and gene expression information per cell.
