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

Residential stem cells sense extrinsic and intrinsic signals to proliferate accordingly to maintain homeostasis. However, how differentiated cells control stem cell proliferation still remains elusive. Here, we find that Auxilin (Aux) maintains enterocyte (EC) integrity to prevent unlimited intestinal stem cell (ISC) proliferation. Depleting aux in ECs leads to excessive ISC proliferation and intestinal homeostasis disruption. Ectopic cytokine production from dying aux-depleted ECs activates JAK/STAT signaling and promotes ISC proliferation. Mechanistically, Aux facilitates anterograde ER-to-Golgi apparatus (GA) vesicle transport by associating with COPII coatomer. Further, the presentation of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) by ER-to-GA transport is required for intestinal homeostasis. Together, these data demonstrate that Aux maintains EC integrity by mediating ER-to-GA trafficking of CAMs to restrain excessive ISC proliferation. Thus our study uncovers the underlying mechanism of how differentiated cells control stem cell proliferation through inter-cell communication during tissue homeostasis and pathogenesis.
