Label retaining and stem cell marker expression in the developing rat urinary bladder.
Article in Urology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
objectiveTo identify potential stem cells in urinary bladder by label-retaining cell (LRC) strategy and immunostaining for putative stem cell markers.
methodsNewborn rats were intraperitoneally injected with 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU) and their bladders harvested at 4 different time points afterward. The bladders were processed for EdU staining and immunofluorescence staining for stem cell markers Lgr5, CD34, SSEA-1, and c-kit. EdU-positive cells were counted and colocalization with stem cell markers determined.
resultsAt day 1 post-EdU injection, 1804.0 ± 227.7 bladder cells were labeled in each cross-section. As time increased, fewer bladders remained labeled, dropping to 236.5 ± 53.0 cells per field. In the 1-day bladders, 27.5% ± 4.9% of the epithelial cells were labeled as compared to 12.1% ± 2.8% in the detrusor. The labeling rates in these 2 tissue compartments gradually equalized, reaching at approximately 5.5% in the 8-week samples. Distribution of LRC was random, without preferential labeling of basal cells. Lgr5 and SSEA-1 were detectable in the urothelium, and CD34 and c-kit in the lamina propria and detrusor. Approximately 30%-40% of c-kit-positive cells were EdU positive.
conclusionLabeling of bladder cells by EdU occurred randomly, and label retaining was not associated with expression of Lgr5, CD34, or SSEA-1. The strong association between label retaining and c-kit expression appears to relate to interstitial cells of Cajal, not stem cells.
