Protocol for quantifying aberrant features of adult Drosophila midgut stem cells as tumor-prediction biomarkers.
Article in STAR protocols, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Here, we present a protocol for quantifying aberrant features of clustered intestinal stem cells (ISCs) in the adult Drosophila midgut, enabling tumor-prediction biomarker assessment. We describe steps for clustered ISC labeling, immunostaining, and cell number and size enumeration per midgut region during aging. We then detail procedures for determining mitosis rate and ploidy per clustered ISC. These measurements can be compared across different genotypes and experimental conditions and correlated with the corresponding late-in-life tumor incidence. For complete details on the use of this protocol, refer to Neophytou et al.
