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

Goto et al. in this issue use continuous lineage imaging to examine why only some fibroblasts become induced hepatocyte-like cells. The study suggests that hepatic reprogramming follows a hybrid elite-stochastic model: early asymmetric division produces elite-like lineages, and subsequent mitotic activity and chance determine which descendants ultimately complete conversion.
