Golgi organization regulates stem cell function in the small intestine.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cell-to-cell signaling between niche and stem cells regulates tissue renewal. While the identity of many mediating factors is known, it is largely unknown whether stem cells optimize their receptiveness to niche signals according to the niche organization. Here, we show that Lgr5+ small intestinal stem cells (ISCs) regulate the morphology and orientation of their secretory apparatus to match the niche architecture, and to increase transport efficiency of niche signal receptors. ISCs orient their Golgi apparatus laterally towards Paneth cells of the epithelial niche, and divide Golgi into multiple stacks. Stem cells with multiple lateral Golgi transport stem cell receptors with a higher efficiency than cells with one single Golgi. The lateral Golgi orientation and enhanced receptor transport requires A-kinase anchor protein 9 (Akap9), and is necessary for normal renewal capacity. Moreover, reduced Akap9 in aged ISCs renders ISCs insensitive to niche-dependent modulation of Golgi stack number and transport efficiency. Our results reveal a stem cell-specific Golgi complex configuration that facilitates efficient niche signal reception and tissue renewal, which is compromised in the aged epithelium.
