Simplified Quantification of Progenitor Zone Size, an Indicator of Germ Stem Cell Niche Activity, in the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Germ stem cell (GSC) niches are fundamental for the maintenance of the immortal germ cell lineage across generations. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the simple GSC system has served as an important model for understanding stem cell biology and underlying genetic architecture. GSC niche activity in C. elegans is highly sensitive to subtle environmental and genetic variation. Quantifying variation in the C. elegans GSC niche is therefore essential; however, most methods to do so remain labor-intensive and time-consuming when screening large numbers of individuals. Here, we present a simple and efficient method to estimate the size of the C. elegans GSC niche progenitor pool. This method is ideal for detecting differences in progenitor pool size among different genotypes and environmental treatments during medium- to high-throughput applications such as forward genetic screens and quantitative genetics.
