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

The mammary gland epithelium relies on a delicate balance between basal and luminal cell lineages to maintain tissue homeostasis and enable proper development. While the role of canonical Wnt signaling in mammary biology is well-established, the contribution of noncanonical Wnt signaling to lineage identity has remained unclear. Noncanonical Wnt pathways are primarily associated with morphogenesis, cytoskeletal regulation, and cell migration, but whether they are required for maintaining epithelial cell fate remains largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that the noncanonical Wnt receptor Ror2 is expressed in both basal and luminal lineages, yet selectively maintained in basal cells throughout development, suggesting a lineage-specific function.
