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

We report here that human esophageal keratinocyte stem cells are characterized by the expression of the low-affinity neurotrophin receptor p75(NTR) and differentially expressed cell adhesion molecules, the beta1 and beta4 integrins. The candidate stem cells could be fractionated from keratinocytes as a minor cell subset by means of immunocytochemical cell sorting based on the different levels of expression of these cell surface molecules. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that this minor cell subset retained a relatively slow-cycling phenotype in vitro. These cells expressed low levels of involucrin and cytokeratin 13, indicating that the p75(NTR)-positive cell subset is immature relative to the other predominant subpopulations coexpressing beta1 integrin at higher levels. The p75(NTR)-positive cell subset was crucial for achieving longevity and the greatest output of keratinocytes comprising all distinguishable subpopulations in vitro. This process was associated with self-renewal and self-amplification of the p75(NTR)-positive cell subset. These findings strongly implicate p75(NTR) as a stem cell marker, which will be valuable for prospectively investigating stem cell regulation in association with different biological processes including neoplastic transformation of regenerative epithelia.
