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

To access the earliest stages of murine T cell development, we adapted a serum-free expansion system for hematopoietic stem and progenitor-like cells. These cells undergo normal T cell differentiation in vivo and in vitro, verified by gene expression trajectories from single-cell RNA sequencing. Their absolute differentiation speed is slower than that of fresh progenitors but is modulated with Flt3L priming. Leveraging this system, the earliest T cell lineage-initiating events in response to Notch signaling included chromatin opening and transcriptional activation of the TCR-Cβ locus. Acute CRISPR knockouts revealed that some transcription factors normally inherited from bone marrow progenitors impede early T cell development, with differing effects on proliferation. Among 23 factors tested,
