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

Human stem cells bear a great potential for multiple therapeutic applications but at the same time constitute a major threat to human health in the form of cancer stem cells. The molecular processes that govern stem cell maintenance or differentiation have been extensively studied in model organisms or cell culture, but it has been difficult to extrapolate these insights to therapeutic applications. Recent advances in the field suggest that local and global changes in histone modifications that affect chromatin structure could influence the capability of cells to either maintain their stem cell identity or differentiate into specialized cell types. The enzymes that regulate these modifications are therefore among the prime targets for potential drugs that can influence and potentially improve the therapeutic application of stem cells. In this review, we discuss recent findings on the role of histone modifications in stem cell regulation and their potential implications for clinical applications.
