Integrating Spatial and Single-Nucleus Transcriptomic Data to Assess the Effects of Intrauterine Hyperglycemia on Fetal Pancreatic Development.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Maternal pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) can lead to adverse fetal outcomes, including lasting impacts on pancreatic development. However, the specific impacts of maternal PGDM on cellular functions and intercellular communication within the fetal pancreas remain poorly understood. Here, single-nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics (ST) are employed to investigate cellular responses and spatial changes in the fetal pancreas (E16.5 and E18.5) under maternal PGDM conditions. The findings reveal significant cellular heterogeneity among acinar and beta cells, along with pronounced metabolic stress responses. More importantly, decreased insulin secretion is observed and accompanied by the compensatory increase of Pdx1, Nkx6.2, and Mafa, and substantial alterations in cell-cell communication across multiple cell types. ST analysis further highlights enhanced spatial enrichment in cellular niches exposed to maternal PGDM. These findings provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying fetal pancreatic response to maternal PGDM and offer a detailed spatiotemporal perspective on these processes.
