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 olfactory epithelium contains two basal stem cell populations that facilitate the usually life-long ability for neuronal regeneration that is required for maintaining our sense of smell. Horizontal basal cells (HBCs) are generally quiescent and only become active after direct injury to the epithelium that eliminates more than just the olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). Globose basal cells (GBCs) lie apical to HBCs and are solely responsible for the generation of olfactory neurons in the undamaged epithelium. Understanding how these two neurogenic stem cell populations are regulated as OSNs are replenished is hampered by a lack of robust culture models. Here, we report the development of a 3D mouse organoid model that recapitulates the neurogenic cascade, forming immature OSNs while maintaining both HBCs and GBCs in culture. We use this model to demonstrate that, despite their relative quiescence, HBCs form a critical niche for the emergence and composition of the organoid.
