Deciphering precursor cell dynamics in esophageal preneoplasia via genetic barcoding and single-cell transcriptomics.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Although histologically normal, esophageal preneoplastic cells harbor early genetic alterations and likely exhibit lineage plasticity. However, their origins and trajectories remain unclear. To address this, we combined genetic barcoding with single-cell RNA sequencing to trace the lineage of esophageal preneoplastic cells. We identified a distinct progenitor-like cell population with high plasticity. Through a scoring system, these high-plasticity cells are mapped, revealing their contributions to proliferative and basal cell populations. This approach uncovers molecular markers, including
