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

A limited number of adult stem cells (SCs) maintain the homoestasis of different tissues through the lifetime of the individual by generating differentiating daughters and renewing themselves. Errors in the SC division rate or in the fine balance between self-renewal and differentiation might result in tissue overgrowth or depletion, two potentially lethal conditions. A few types of SCs have been identified in Drosophila. These include the SCs of the adult intestine and malpighian tubes, (Micchelli and Perrimon, 2006; Ohlstein and Spradling, 2006; Singh et al., 2007), the prohematocytes that maintain the population of cells involved in the immunoresponse (Lanot et al., 2001; Lemaitre and Hoffmann, 2007), the SC of the follicle epithelia in the ovary (Nystul and Spradling, 2007), germ line SCs (GSCs) of both sexes (Fuller and Spradling, 2007) and neuroblasts (NBs), the fly neural SCs (Yu et al., 2006; Chia et al., 2008; Knoblich, 2008). Drosophila SCs have proved a fruitful model system to unveil some aspects of the molecular logic that sustains SC function. This review focuses on results obtained in the last few years from the study of NBs, particularly from the standpoint of the possible functional connection between asymmetric SC division and cancer.
