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

Pluripotency, the capacity to generate all cells of the body, is a defining property of a transient population of epiblast cells found in pre-, peri- and post-implantation mammalian embryos. As development progresses, the epiblast cells undergo dynamic transitions in pluripotency states, concurrent with the specification of extra-embryonic and embryonic lineages. Recently, stem cell-based models of pre- and post-implantation human embryonic development have been developed using stem cells that capture key properties of the epiblast at different developmental stages. Here, we review early primate development, comparing pluripotency states of the epiblast in vivo with cultured pluripotent cells representative of these states. We consider how the pluripotency status of the starting cells influences the development of human embryo models and, in turn, what we can learn about the human pluripotent epiblast. Finally, we discuss the limitations of these models and questions arising from the pioneering studies in this emerging field.
