Stem cell-based approach to identify regulatory TFs during mammalian cell differentiation.
Article in Stem cell reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Cell differentiation is regulated by transcription factors (TFs), but specific TFs needed for mammalian differentiation pathways are not fully understood. For example, during spinal motor neuron (MN) differentiation, 1,370 TFs are transcribed, yet only 55 have reported functional relevance. We developed a method combining pluripotent stem cell differentiation, single-cell transcriptomics, and a CRISPR-based TF loss-of-function screen and applied it to MN differentiation. The CRISPR screen identified 245 genes important for mouse MN differentiation, including 116 TFs. This screen uncovered important genes not showing differential transcription and identified a regulatory hub at the MN progenitor (pMN) stage. A secondary human screen of 69 selected candidates revealed a conservation between mouse pMN and human pMN and ventral pMN (vpMN) regulations. The validation of three hits required for efficient human MN differentiation supported the effectiveness of our approach. Collectively, our strategy offers a framework for identifying important TFs in various differentiation pathways.
