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

Radial glial progenitors (RGPs) generate all projection neurons (PNs) in the cerebral cortex through incompletely understood processes. We combined Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers at embryonic stages (E)12.5 and E13.5 with early postnatal callosal tracing to dissect RGP lineage progression. We find that multipotent RGPs generate all extra-telencephalic (ET) and intra-telencephalic (IT) PNs via parallel sublineages that emerge simultaneously at neurogenesis onset. ET-PN production progresses exclusively via small, self-consuming lineages; IT-PN lineages feature RGPs generating large translaminar outputs. The early emergence of IT-PN-fated RGPs, coinciding with a switch to direct neurogenesis, contributes to the stereotyped population-level progression of the multipotent lineage. We also identify POU3F transcription factors as candidate regulators of IT-PN fate via noncanonical mitotic chromatin binding. The results support a model whereby IT- and ET-PNs arise from an early bifurcation and parallel specification within the multipotent RGP lineage.
