Sodium Butyrate-Assisted Induction of Posterior Pre-Neural Progenitors from Pluripotent Stem Cells.

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.
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
Posterior axis development during mammalian embryogenesis is driven by transient progenitor states that give rise to neural and mesodermal lineages, including neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs). In vitro derivation of posterior progenitor populations from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) has relied on modulation of Wnt and FGF signaling; however, these approaches frequently generate heterogeneous and unstable cell populations. Here, we investigated whether sodium butyrate (NaB) supplementation could promote a posteriorly biased intermediate state without extensive extracellular signaling control. We show that NaB, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, promotes the induction of posterior pre-neural progenitors (PNPs) characterized by co-expression of CDX2 and SOX2, together with suppression of SOX1. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that NaB-treated cells exhibit a posteriorly enriched PNPs with restrained anterior neural differentiation, transient early
