Single-cell transcriptomics reveals the molecular basis of human iPS cell differentiation into ectodermal ocular lineages.
Article in Communications biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The generation of a self-formed, ectodermal, autonomous multi-zone (SEAM) from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) offers a unique perspective to study the dynamics of ocular cell differentiation over time. Here, by utilising single-cell transcriptomics, we have (i) identified, (ii) molecularly characterised and (iii) ascertained the developmental trajectories of ectodermally-derived ocular cell populations which emerge within SEAMs as they form. Our analysis reveals interdependency between tissues of the early eye and delineates the sequential formation and maturation of distinct cell types over a 12-week period. We demonstrate a progression from pluripotency through to tissue specification and differentiation which encompasses both surface ectodermal and neuroectodermal ocular lineages and the generation of iPSC-derived components of the developing cornea, conjunctiva, lens, and retina. Our findings not only advance the understanding of ocular development in a stem cell-based system of human origin, but also establish a robust methodological paradigm for exploring cellular and molecular dynamics during SEAM formation at single-cell resolution and highlight the potential of hiPSC-derived systems as powerful platforms for modelling human eye development and disease.
