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

The precise identity of cancer cells of origin and the molecular events of tumor initiation in epidermal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are unknown. Here we show that malignancy potential is related to the developmental capacity of the initiating cancer cell in a genetically defined, intact, and inducible in vivo model. Specifically, these data demonstrate that SCCs can originate from inside the hair follicle stem cell (SC) niche or from immediate progenitors, whereas more developmentally restricted progeny, the transit amplifying (TA) cells, are unable to generate even benign tumors in the same genetic context. Using a temporal model of tumorigenesis in situ, we highlight the phenotypes of cancer progression from the hair follicle SC niche, including hyperplasia, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, and SCC formation. Furthermore, we provide insights into the inability of hair follicle TA cells to respond to tumorigenic stimuli.
