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

Embryonic hematopoiesis involves successive waves of progenitors from distinct anatomical sites, but the origins and contributions of early hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) remain incompletely defined. Here we use genetic fate mapping in mice to temporally label hemogenic endothelium (HE) subsets and track their progeny. We show that a wave of fetal-restricted HSPCs arises from HE in the vitelline and umbilical arteries between embryonic days 8.5 and 9.5, preceding the emergence of definitive hematopoietic stem cells. Lineage tracing, single-cell transcriptomic analyses and functional assays revealed that these progenitors are transient and distinct from erythro-myeloid progenitors, contribute extensively to fetal lympho-myelopoiesis but decline postnatally. Our findings reveal a previously unrecognized early HE wave as a key source of fetal-restricted HSPCs, refining the spatial-temporal understanding of layered hematopoiesis and informing developmental origins of blood cell diversity.
