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

Transcriptomics enables comprehensive, multiplexed characterization of cellular states, yet prevailing methods typically require cell fixation or lysis, precluding longitudinal analysis of RNA expression in living cells. Here, we present non-destructive transcriptomics by vesicular export (NTVE), a platform for multi-time-point monitoring of RNA expression dynamics in living cells. Stabilized RNA reporter barcodes can be selectively packaged and exported from cells via virus-like particles (VLPs) bearing bioorthogonal affinity handles for convenient multichannel tracking of co-cultured cells. Using an engineered poly(A)-binding protein adapter, NTVE exports endogenous transcripts from inducible human and murine cell lines with high concordance to conventional lysate-derived RNA-seq. NTVE captures transcriptome changes in response to genetic and chemical perturbations within the same cells over time using standard sequencing workflows. NTVE can further be equipped with fusogens to deliver mRNA-encoded effectors or ribonucleoprotein gene editors from sender cells, activating gene reporters in co-cultured recipient cells. We demonstrate the utility of NTVE for monitoring hiPSC differentiation through daily non-destructive transcriptomic profiling of lineage-specific marker dynamics.
