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 transcriptional effector of the Hippo signalling pathway, YAP, regulates the first lineage specification in mouse preimplantation embryos. However, how YAP undergoes dephosphorylation specifically in the trophectoderm (TE) but not in the inner cell mass (ICM) remains unresolved. Here, we discovered that the serine/threonine phosphatase PPP1CC exhibits uniform distribution prior to blastocyst formation but becomes specifically localised to the TE during the blastocyst stage. Through mediating YAP dephosphorylation in the outer cells of mouse morula, PPP1CC facilitates YAP nuclear translocation, thereby ultimately driving TE lineage specification. Importantly, the spatially restricted localisation of PPP1CC in TE is achieved via its interaction with the long non-coding RNA GAS5, which localises to the subcortical region throughout early mouse embryonic development. Knockdown of GAS5 phenocopies PPP1CC deficiency, causing developmental arrest at the morula stage accompanied by impaired YAP dephosphorylation in outer cells. Moreover, overexpression of GAS5 in one blastomere of the 2-cell stage biases its descendants predominantly towards the TE fate. In summary, our study identifies the GAS5-PPP1CC-YAP axis as a central regulator of first lineage specification during mouse preimplantation development, highlighting its critical role in reversible phosphorylation during early embryogenesis.
