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

Introduction: The molecular programs regulating human pancreatic endocrine cell induction and fate allocation are not well deciphered. Here, we investigated the spatiotemporal expression pattern and the function of the neurogenic differentiation factor 2 (NEUROD2) during human endocrinogenesis. Methods: Using Crispr-Cas9 gene editing, we generated a reporter knock-in transcription factor (TF) knock-out human inducible pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line in which the open reading frame of both NEUROD2 alleles are replaced by a nuclear histone 2B-Venus reporter (NEUROD2 Results: We identified a transient expression of NEUROD2 mRNA and its nuclear Venus reporter activity at the stage of human endocrine progenitor formation in an iPSC differentiation model. This expression profile is similar to what was previously reported in mice, uncovering an evolutionarily conserved gene expression pattern of NEUROD2 during endocrinogenesis. In vitro differentiation of the generated homozygous NEUROD2 Discussion: Overall, our results suggest that NEUROD2 is expendable for human b cell formation
