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

During mammalian embryonic development, haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) first emerge in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region. Human definitive HSCs emerge in low numbers and reside within the VE-CAD+CD45+ population consisting of 500-1000 cells. Accurate identification of the first HSCs emerging within this population is important for understanding their biology and underlying developmental mechanisms. Here, we characterised the expression of potential markers labelling HSCs during their emergence in the AGM at Carnegie stages (CS) 14-17. We found that the first definitive HSCs are marked by CD43, but not CD41, similar to the early haematopoietic progenitor cells differentiating in culture from human embryonic stem cells. We show that, during development in the AGM region and in the beginning of liver colonisation, HSCs remain GPI-80 negative, in contrast to liver HSCs at the later midtrimester foetal development. Together with our previous observations, this study provides firm evidence that HSCs colonise human embryonic liver at CS17-18.
