Modeling the prostate stem cell niche: an evaluation of stem cell survival and expansion in vitro.
Article in Stem cells and development, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The goal of this work was to engineer a clinically relevant in vitro model of human prostate stem cells (PSCs) that could be used to interrogate the mechanisms of stem cell control. We, therefore, compared the growth potential of stem cells in 3D culture (where the conditions would favor a quiescent state) with monolayer culture that has previously been demonstrated to induce PSC division. We found a fundamental difference between cultures of primary, adult PSCs grown as monolayers compared to those grown as spheres. The first supported the expansion and maintenance of PSCs from single cells while the latter did not. In an attempt to determine the mechanisms governing stem cell control, several known stem cell activators (including IFNalpha, FGF2, anti-TGFbeta, and dihydrotestosterone) were studied. However, cell division was not observed. CD133+ cells derived from a prostate cell line did not grow as spheres from single cells but did grow from aggregates. We conclude that PSCs can be expanded and maintained in monolayer culture from single cells, but that PSCs are growth quiescent when grown as spheres. It is likely that the physical arrangement of cells in monolayer provides an injury-type response, which can activate stem cells into cycle.
