Regulation of spermatogonial stem cell self-renewal and proliferation in mammals.
Review in Histology and histopathology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The generation of functional sperm relies on spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) as they can maintain a stem cell pool for continuous generation of functional spermatozoa. The maintenance of SSCs is regulated by several factors. In this paper, we summarize the niche and intrinsic factors in regulating SSC self-renewal and proliferation. GDNF regulates SSC self-renewal through Ras-ERK1/2, SFC, PI3K/Akt and MEK/ERK-mTOR signaling pathways. FGF activates MAPK2K1, ERK and Akt pathways and EGF activates ERK and Akt pathways to induce SSC proliferation. Wnt ligands regulate SSC self-renewal and proliferation through both β-catenin dependent and independent pathways. SCF1 and CXCL12 are also found to have roles in SSC maintenance. As for intrinsic factors in SSCs, ETV5, Bcl6b, Lhx1, ID4 and Nanos2 are regulated by niche factors. They act as the downstream factors of niche factors in regulating SSC self-renewal and proliferation. Transcriptional factors OCT4 and PLZF, as well as FOXO1 in SSCs can directly regulate SSC self-renewal and proliferation. Although we have identified the factors, the detailed mechanism of these factors in regulating SSC fate determination is largely unknown. Here, we summarize factors which have roles in SSC fate determination and hope it will be beneficial for further study and treatment of male infertility.
