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 integration of extrinsic and intrinsic signals is required to preserve the self-renewal and tissue regenerative capacity of adult stem cells, while protecting them from malignant conversion or loss of proliferative potential by death, differentiation or senescence. Here we review emerging signaling circuitries regulating stem cell fate, with emphasis on epithelial stem cells. Wnt, mTOR, GPCRs, Notch, Rho GTPases, YAP and DNA and histone methylases are some of the mechanisms that allow stem cells to balance their regenerative potential and the initiation of terminal differentiation programs, guaranteeing appropriate tissue homeostasis. Understanding the signaling circuitries regulating stem cell fate decisions might provide important insights into cancer initiation and numerous human pathologies that involve the progressive loss of tissue-specific adult stem cells.
