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

This study presents a comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of feeder-free extended pluripotent stem cells (ffEPSCs) and their parental human embryonic stem cells (ESCs), providing new insights into understanding human early development and cellular heterogeneity of pluripotency. Leveraging Smart-seq2-based single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we have compared gene expression profiles between ESCs and ffEPSCs and uncovered distinct subpopulations within both groups. Through pseudotime analysis, we have mapped the transition process from ESCs to ffEPSCs, revealing critical molecular pathways involved in the shift from a primed pluripotency to an extended pluripotent state. Additionally, we have employed repeat sequence analysis based on the latest T2T database and identified the stage-specific repeat elements contributing to regulating pluripotency and developmental transitions. This dataset deepens our understanding on early pluripotency and highlights the role of repeat sequences in early embryonic development. Our findings thus offer valuable resources for researchers in stem cell biology, pluripotency, early embryonic development, and potential cell therapy and regenerative medical applications.
