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

Adipogenesis from mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) offers a tractable model for dissecting early adipocyte commitment, yet the mechanisms coordinating this transition across multiple biological layers remain incompletely understood. Here we present the first simultaneous five-layer multi-omics characterization of mESC-derived adipocyte differentiation, integrating transcriptomics, proteomics, secretomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics from matched adipogenic (Pos) and non-differentiating (Neg) cell populations at day 30. Applying Multi-Omics Factor Analysis (MOFA+), we identified a dominant shared latent axis that perfectly segregated Pos from Neg cells across all five views. Layer-specific functional enrichment converged on two principal biological axes: ECM remodeling - encompassing collagens, laminins, thrombospondins, and lysyl oxidases - and lipid metabolic reprogramming, with phospholipid and glycerolipid metabolic processes dominating the lipidomics/metabolomics layer. Ensemble Machine Learning Feature Ranking (EMFR) identified a secreted factor (Scpep1; importance score 0.90) as the top-ranked discriminatory feature. Network analysis revealed indirect ECM-lipid connectivity mediated by four bridging nodes (Plod1, Thbs2, Plg, Pmp22) through a hub subnetwork of phospholipid-metabolizing enzymes. Targeted qPCR validation of six candidate regulators (Itga5, Igfbp6, Pik3cg, Lpl, Acer3, Sirt1) confirmed RNA-seq concordance. These findings establish convergent ECM remodeling and lipid metabolic reprogramming as central axes of adipocyte identity acquisition from mESCs.
