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 tongue is essential for swallowing, taste perception, and mechanosensation. The anterior and posterior parts of the tongue have region-specific developmental origins and are maintained by adult epithelial stem/progenitor cells. In vitro models that can be used to investigate anterior tongue biology have been lacking. Here, a protocol is developed to generate a long-term expanding organoid model from the adult mouse dorsal anterior tongue. Anterior tongue organoids consist of Lgr6+ cells, Sox2+ stem/progenitor cells, and Hoxc13+ filiform papillae progenitor cells. Furthermore, anterior tongue organoids share region-specific transcriptomic profiles, gene regulatory networks, and signaling pathways with anterior tongue tissue. Anterior tongue organoids can be differentiated into various epithelial cell types, including Merkel-like cells, keratinocytes, and taste bud cells. Gene regulatory network analysis reveals transcriptional programs associated with Krt8+ cell and Krt23+/Sbsn+ keratinocyte differentiation in the organoids. Together, this study provides an in vitro model of mouse dorsal tongue epithelium.
