Preliminary Report: Multiple Clusters of Proliferating Cells in Non-dysplastic Corrupted Colonic Crypts Underneath Conventional Adenomas.

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
backgroundThe finding was recently reported of clusters of colonic crypts lined with indigenous normal epithelium displaying irregular shapes underneath the adenomatous glands of conventional (tubular or villous) adenomas. These abnormal crypts were named non-dysplastic corrupted colonic crypts (NDCs). This study explored the characteristics of cell proliferation in NDCs present in a cohort of conventional adenomas. MATERIALS AND
methodsSections from six conventional adenomas were challenged with the proliferation marker Ki-67 (MIB1). MIB+ proliferating clusters were regarded as those exhibiting two or more adjoining MIB+ cells.
resultsA total of 46 (range=1-18) NDCs were found underneath the six conventional adenomas. Out of the 46 NDCs, two exhibited only one proliferative cluster/crypt, 14 NDCs two clusters/crypt, 14 three clusters/crypt and the remaining 16 NDCs more than four distinct clusters/crypt.
conclusionThis preliminary study showed, evidently for the first time, that multiple, apparently haphazardly distributed clusters of proliferating cells are present in NDCs. Since the Ki-67 proliferation marker only labels progenitor daughter cells generated by stem cells, each MIB+ cluster in each NDC must have been produced by a single stem cell. Consequently, individual NDCs may harbor several stem cells, a deduction that is in concert with recent studies showing that in the normal human colon, the number of stem cells per crypt is of the order of five to six, or about 5% of the cell population of a single crypt.
