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

Arterial blood transport into peripheral organs is indispensable for developmental growth, homeostasis and tissue repair. While it is appreciated that defective formation or compromised function of arteries is associated with a range of human diseases, the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating arterial development remain little understood for most organs. Here, we show with genetic approaches that a small subpopulation of endothelial cells inside the intestinal villi of the embryonic mouse, characterized by the expression of endothelial cell-specific molecule 1 (Esm1/endocan), gives rise to arterial endothelium in the intestinal wall but also in the distant mesenteric vasculature. This involves cell migration but also substantial changes in morphology and gene expression. Immunohistochemistry and single cell RNA-sequencing confirm that intestinal Esm1
