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

Polyploidy (the more than doubling of a cell's genome) frequently arises during organogenesis, tissue repair, and age-associated diseases. Despite its prevalence, major gaps exist in how polyploid cells emerge and affect tissue function. Studies have begun to elucidate the signals required for polyploid cell growth as well as the advantages and disadvantages of polyploidy in health and disease. This review highlights the recent advances on the role and regulation of polyploidy in Drosophila and vertebrate models. The newly discovered versatility of polyploid cells has the potential to provide alternative strategies to promote tissue growth and repair, while limiting disease and dysfunction.
