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

Background: Early patterning of mesodermal precursor populations is a key step of hematopoietic development in the embryo. To better understand this process, we employed sci-Plex, a high-throughput method of measuring multiplexed perturbations at the single-cell level, to evaluate the transcriptional response of mouse embryonic stem cells subjected to a gradient of two key morphogens in early mesoderm/hematopoietic development, Activin and BMP4. Results: sci-Plex revealed varying combinations of Activin and BMP4 temporally influenced mesoderm patterning in vitro and subsequent production of cell types reflecting their in vivo counterparts. We leveraged sci-Plex data to further optimize the generation of intraembryonic-like hemogenic endothelial cells that serve as the precursors of definitive hematopoietic lineages, including hematopoietic stem cells. Conclusions: This study highlights the utility of sci-Plex to dissect how dose and temporal integration of interacting signal pathways determines cell fates and serves as a resource to analyze cell fate choices in early mesoderm patterning at single cell resolution.
