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

Unipotent basal and luminal stem cells maintain prostate homeostasis, with an intermediate cell population emerging during prostate inflammation or cancer. However, the identities of basal stem cell and intermediate cell population remain unclear. Here we identified a rare intermediate cell population expressing luminal markers (termed Basal-B) with enhanced organoid formation capacity, and a larger basal population (termed Basal-A). Genetic lineage tracing revealed Basal-B cells represented a transient basal stem cell state during prostate homeostasis and androgen-mediated regeneration. Activated JAK/STAT signaling was identified in Basal-B cells, and its inhibition significantly reduced Basal-B markers expression. Inflammation increased Basal-B-to-luminal cell transdifferentiation, but JAK/STAT inhibition notably attenuated this effect. Pten gene deletion increased Nkx3.1-expressing Basal-B-like cell population and led to neoplasia. In humans, h-Basal-B cells were more prevalent in benign prostate hyperplasia. This study reveals the identities of intermediate Basal-B cells and underscores the role of JAK/STAT signaling in prostate cell fate determination.
