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 cells are of great interest to the scientific community due to their potential role in regenerative and rejuvenative medicine. However, their role in the aging process and carcinogenesis remains unclear. Because DNA replication in stem cells may contribute to the background mutation rate and thereby to cancer, reducing proliferation and establishing a relatively quiescent stem cell compartment has been hypothesized to limit DNA replication-associated mutagenesis. On the other hand, as the main function of stem cells is to provide daughter cells to build and maintain tissues, the idea of a quiescent stem cell compartment appears counterintuitive. Intriguing observations in mice have led to the idea of separated stem cell compartments that consist of cells with different proliferative activity. Some epithelia of short-lived rodents appear to lack quiescent stem cells. Comparing stem cells of different species and different organs (comparative stem cell biology) may allow us to elucidate the evolutionary pressures such as the balance between cancer and longevity that govern stem cell biology (evolutionary stem cell biology). The oral mucosa and its stem cells are an exciting model system to explore the characteristics of quiescent stem cells that have eluded biologists for decades.
