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

Granule cell precursors (GCPs) drive the major postnatal expansion of the cerebellum and are the cells of origin of sonic hedgehog medulloblastoma (SHH MB). Although GCPs are often treated as a uniform population, increasing evidence suggests they are heterogeneous, and whether specific subpopulations show distinct tumorigenic competence remains unclear. Here, we identified a rare Nestin-expressing GCP subpopulation in the normal early postnatal cerebellum and showed that it is spatially restricted, molecularly distinct and highly competent to form tumors. These cells are enriched in the posterior external granule layer and co-express
