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

Blastocyst-derived pluripotent mouse embryonic stem cells can differentiate in vitro to form so-called embryoid bodies (EBs), which recapitulate several aspects of murine embryogenesis. We used this in vitro model to study oxygen supply and consumption as well as the response to reduced oxygenation during the earliest stages of development. EBs were found to grow equally well when cultured at 20% (normoxia) or 1% (hypoxia) oxygen during the first 5 days of differentiation. Microelectrode measurements of pericellular oxygen tension within 13- to 14-day-old EBs (diameter 510-890 micron) done at 20% oxygen revealed efficient oxygenation of the EBs' core region. Confocal laser scanning microscopy analysis of EBs incubated with fluorescent dyes that specifically stain living cells confirmed that the cells within an EB were viable. To determine the EBs' capability to sense low oxygen tension and to specifically respond to low ambient oxygen by modulating gene expression we quantified aldolase A and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNAs, since expression of these genes is upregulated by hypoxia in a variety of cells. Compared with the normoxic controls, we found increased aldolase A and VEGF mRNA levels after exposing 8- to 9-day-old EBs to 1% oxygen. We propose that EBs represent a powerful tool to study oxygen-regulated gene expression during the early steps of embryogenesis, where the preimplantation conceptus resides in a fluid environment with low oxygen tension until implantation and vascularization allow efficient oxygenation.
