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

We study a population-based cellular model that starts from a single stem cell that divides stochastically to give rise to either daughter stem cells or differentiated daughter cells. There are three main components in the model: nucleus position, the underlying gene-regulatory network, and stochastic segregation of transcription factors in the daughter cells. The proportion of self-renewal and differentiated cell lines as a function of the nucleus position which in turn decides the plane of cleavage is studied. Both nuclear position and noise play an important role in determining the stem cell genealogies. We have observed both long and short genealogies in model simulation, and these compare well with experimental results from neuroblast and B-cell division. Symmetric divisions are observed in apical nuclei, while asymmetric division occurs when the nucleus is toward the base. In this model, the number of clones decreases over time, although the average clone size increases.
