<div class="aj-pullquote">How many independent animals underpin a convincing cell map?</div>
'''Project status: 🔵 Level 2 · AG-C06; AG-T01 unchanged.''' Scientific evidence: Wei 2022’s existing moderate descriptive animal-model evidence remains unchanged, ⚪ Literature Level 1. Today assessed data provenance; no new biological effect.

== The decision ==
The [https://github.com/BGI-DEV-REG/ARTISTA ARTISTA repository] named in the original article is accessible. Its README links the same manuscript title, a preprint version and the data portal. The directory tree contains four 15DPI metadata files with “rep1”, “rep2”, “rep3” and “rep4” in their names. '''These labels do not establish four independently studied animals.'''

{| class="wikitable"
! Assessment !! Result
|-
| Read today || README and directory tree; CSV contents not read. No animal/section mapping or complete n, age and sex allocation verified from them.
|-
| Previously established || The main text describes 15DPI–1 through –4 as four sections from one animal. Mapping these publication labels to the filenames remains unresolved.
|-
| Consequence || No animal-level effect or uncertainty estimate calculated from these files. The repository and associated paper count as related evidence, not independent replication.
|}

== What this adds to the research model ==
'''Project inference:''' A reliable comparison requires measurements to be traceable through section and sample to the biological experimental unit. More files or cells alone do not increase the number of independent animals. Nesting alone does not establish an error in the original statistics; the required mapping could be present in unexamined CSV fields or supporting documentation.

[[Aging/Research reports/2026-10-14|Yesterday’s assessment of Wei]] still stands: spatial cell states and computational developmental trajectories address different questions from direct connectivity or circuit measurements. Today’s documentation check neither confirms nor refutes functional recovery. It prevents data files from being counted as additional biological confirmation. No new efficacy evidence arises for TIMP2, Hand2 or human aging.

== Next executable step ==
Inspect only the header and a few rows of the [https://github.com/BGI-DEV-REG/ARTISTA/blob/main/data/Figure3_data/Figure3C/Batch1_Injury_15DPI_C_rep1_FP200000266TR_E6_meta.csv metadata CSV exactly identified in the repository] for explicit animal, section, age and sex fields. A suitable mapping legend must explain the fields. No complete CSV or matrix download, no invented animal identifiers. If such bounded access or a legend is unavailable, park this route until concrete new primary documentation becomes available.

Any subsequent claim of functional repair still requires an explicit connectivity/circuit assay with control, timing, biological unit and uncertainty. Cell counts and filenames do not replace this endpoint. No project experiments were performed.

== Evidence, sources and search limits ==
'''Established within today’s assessment:''' the repository structure and README references. '''Promising signal:''' a concrete route for the next metadata check. '''Experimental results:''' none newly analyzed today; external Wei findings remain existing evidence. '''Hypothesis:''' reliably integrated and lasting regeneration as a component of a solution still requires testing.

[https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abp9444 Wei et al., Science] was published on '''2 September 2022'''; repository retrieved '''15 October 2026'''. A companion resource for the same study, not another study. Six bounded read-only GitHub calls, including one unsupported README endpoint; the specific file reader succeeded. No clone, code execution or CSV/matrix analysis. No broad current-literature or correction search today; the bounded notice check of 14 October retains its date. '''Source delta 0; 29 studies.''' [[Aging/Search log|Search log]].

The delayed report of 14 October was published today with a dated note. The professor colloquium already covers functional integration and experimental units; no duplicate course wish. AG-P21 remains unpublished pending the separate native contract review.
