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

backgroundA growing body of evidence from primate embryos as well as in vitro systems supports the notion that amnion and primordial germ cell (PGC) lineage progressing cells share a common precursor.

resultsTo gain comprehensive transcriptomic insights into this critical but poorly understood precursor and its progeny, we examine the evolving transcriptome of a developing human pluripotent stem cell-derived model of amnion and PGC formation at the single cell level. This analysis reveals several continuous amniotic fate progressing states with state-specific markers. Additionally, a progenitor-like cell, that displays bi-potential characteristics for amnion and PGC-like cell lineages and is marked by CLDN10, is identified. Strikingly, we find that expression of CLDN10 is restricted to the amnion-epiblast boundary region in our human post-implantation amniotic sac model as well as in peri-gastrula cynomolgus macaque embryos; moreover, this boundary region presents amnion and PGC progenitor-like transcriptional characteristics. Furthermore, our loss of function analysis shows that CLDN10 promotes amniotic but suppresses PGC-like fate.

conclusionsOverall, based on the single cell transcriptomic resource in this study, we identify a CLDN10
