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

Hair follicles play an important role in maintaining the normal functions of the skin. The dynamic and alternating changes of diverse molecular signals determine hair follicle development and regeneration in the skin. Among the signals, Wnts, particularly Wnt10b is characterized to be especially important in regulating hair follicle behavior by specifically activating the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In this review, we review the role of Wnt10b signaling in hair growth and regeneration. During embryonic development, Wnt10b promotes hair morphogenesis by inducing the formation of dermal papilla. Moreover, Wnt10b/β-catenin signaling not only governs the fate of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) but also coordinates HFSCs and melanocyte stem cells to facilitate pigmented hair regeneration. Interestingly, during wound healing, epidermis-derived Wnt10b initiates hair follicle neogenesis by promoting the dedifferentiation of epidermal keratinocytes and inducing the formation of dermal papilla. However, prolonged overexpression of Wnt10b in epidermal keratinocytes is associated with early-stage cell transformation, the occurrence of systemic sclerosis, and even the development of skin neoplasms. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the role of Wnt10b signaling in hair follicle development, regeneration, and skin diseases provides a rational basis for the development of translational medicine.
