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

The trophectoderm produced from totipotent blastomeres initiates trophoblast development, while placental deficiencies can cause pregnancy disorders. Yet, a culture system that fully recapitulates the entire placenta development is still lacking, greatly limiting related studies. Here, we captured mouse trophectoderm-like stem cells (TELSCs), which can give rise to all trophoblast lineages and can be applied to generate trophoblast organoids. We achieved the induction and maintenance of TELSCs from totipotent blastomere-like stem cells or early embryos through a Hippo-YAP/Notch-to-TGFβ1 signaling switch. At the molecular level, TELSCs resemble E4.5 trophectoderm and are distinct from all previously known trophoblast-like stem cells. Functionally, TELSCs can generate all trophoblast lineages in both teratoma and chimera assays. We further applied TELSCs to generate trophoblast organoids containing various mature trophoblasts and a self-renewing extraembryonic ectoderm (ExE)-like progenitor population. Interestingly, we observed transiently formed rosette-like structures that rely on Itgb1, which are essential to induce ExE-like progenitors and to generate organoids eventually. Thus, the capture of TELSCs enables comprehensive insights into placental development.
