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

While thyroid is considered to be a dormant organ, when required, it can regenerate through increased cell proliferation. However, the mechanism for regeneration remains unknown. Nkx2-1(fl/fl);TPO-cre mouse thyroids exhibit a very disorganized appearance because their thyroids continuously degenerate and regenerate. In mouse thyroids, a cluster of cells are found near the tracheal cartilage and muscle, which are positive for expression of NKX2-1, the master transcription factor governing thyroid development and function. In the present study, we propose that this cluster of NKX2-1-positive cells may be the precursor cells that mature to become thyroid follicular cells, forming thyroid follicles. We also found that phosphorylation of AKT is induced by NKX2-1 in the proposed thyroid progenitor-like side-population cell-derived thyroid cell line (SPTL) cells, suggesting the possibility that NKX2-1 plays a role in differentiation through the modulation of AKT signaling. This study revealed that Nkx2-1(fl/fl);TPO-cre mice provide a suitable model to study in vivo regeneration and folliculogenesis of the thyroid.
