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

Niche cells are widely known to regulate stem/progenitor cells in many mammalian tissues. In the hair, dermal papilla niche cells are well accepted to regulate hair stem/progenitor cells. However, how niche cells themselves are maintained is largely unknown. We present evidence implicating hair matrix progenitors and the lipid modifying enzyme, Stearoyl CoA Desaturase 1, in the regulation of the dermal papilla niche during the anagen-catagen transition of the mouse hair cycle. Our data suggest that this takes place via autocrine Wnt signalling and paracrine Hedgehog signalling. To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating a potential role for matrix progenitor cells in maintaining the dermal papilla niche.
