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

Olfaction depends on lifelong production of sensory neurons from CXCR4 expressing neurogenic stem cells. Signaling by CXCR4 depends on the concentration of CXCL12, CXCR4's principal ligand. Here, we use several genetic models to investigate how regulation of CXCL12 in the olfactory stem cell niche adjusts neurogenesis. We identify subepithelial tissue and sustentacular cells, the olfactory glia, as main CXCL12 sources. Lamina propria-derived CXCL12 accumulates on quiescent gliogenic stem cells via heparan sulfate. Additionally, CXCL12 is secreted within the olfactory epithelium by sustentacular cells. Both sustentacular-cell-derived and lamina propria-derived CXCL12 are required for CXCR4 activation. ACKR3, a high-affinity CXCL12 scavenger, is expressed by mature glial cells and titrates CXCL12. The accurate adjustment of CXCL12 by ACKR3 is critical for CXCR4-dependent proliferation of neuronal stem cells and for proper lineage progression. Overall, these findings establish precise regulation of CXCL12 by glia cells as a prerequisite for CXCR4-dependent neurogenesis and identify ACKR3 as a scavenger influencing tissue homeostasis beyond embryonic development.
