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

Stem cell and microenvironment molecular interactions have been studied in detail but regenerative behavior at the organ population level has remained unexplored. Organ renewal can occur continuously or in cyclic episodes. Progenitors may be distributed as one entity or compartmentalized into multiple units. Multiple units offer advantages as each unit can be regulated differently in different body regions or physiological stages, adapting animals to their niche with flexible functional forms. Using the hair paradigm, we show how periodic patterning can convert one morphogenetic field into many hair germs, how follicles can be renewed with different cycle times and phenotypes in a region-specific manner, and how new properties, such as regenerative waves and quorum sensing, emerge to coordinate collective regenerative behavior.
