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

Collagenase and dispase treatment of intestinal tissue from adult mice generates cells growing in matrigel as stably replatable cystic spheroids, in addition to differentiated organoids. Contrary to classical EDTA-derived organoids, these spheroids display poor intestinal differentiation and grow independently of Rspondin, noggin and EGF. Their transcriptome strikingly resembles that of fetal intestinal spheroids, with downregulation of crypt base columnar cell (CBC) markers (Lgr5, Ascl2, Smoc2 and Olfm4). In addition, they display upregulation of inflammatory and mesenchymal genetic programs, together with robust expression of YAP target genes. Lineage tracing, cell-sorting and single cell RNA sequencing experiments demonstrate that adult spheroid-generating cells belong to a hitherto undescribed developmental lineage, independent of Lgr5-positive CBCs, and are involved in regeneration of the epithelium following CBC ablation.
