Nomenclature for cellular plasticity: are the terms as plastic as the cells themselves?
Article in The EMBO journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 papers.
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
It is now recognized that cell identity is more fluid, and tissues more plastic, than previously thought. The plasticity of cells is relevant to diverse fields, most notably developmental and stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, and cancer biology. To date, a comprehensive and uniform nomenclature to define distinct cell states and their injury-induced interconversions has been elusive. The first Keystone Symposium devoted exclusively to cellular plasticity in regeneration and tumorigenesis was held on January 2019 in Keystone, Colorado, and featured a workshop on terminology in the cell plasticity field. Definitions for terms such as plasticity, de- and transdifferentiation, reversion, and paligenosis were discussed. Here, we summarize the content and tenor of the symposium and nomenclature-focused workshop with regard to terms in the field. We outline the challenges with current definitions and recommend best practices and approaches to developing an accurate and acceptable nomenclature in the future.
