Lgr5 + intestinal stem cells are required for organoid survival after genotoxic injury.
Article in Development (Cambridge, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Progenitors and mature cells can maintain the intestinal epithelium by dedifferentiation and facultative intestinal stem cell (fISC) function when active ISCs (aISCs) are lost to damage. Here, we modeled fISC activation in mouse intestinal organoids with doxorubicin (DXR) treatment, a chemotherapeutic known to ablate Lgr5+ aISCs in vivo. Similar fISC gene activation was observed between organoids treated with low versus high DXR, despite significantly decreased survival at the higher dose. aISCs exhibited dose-dependent loss after DXR treatment but survived at doses compatible with organoid survival. We ablated residual aISCs after DXR treatment using a Lgr52A-DTR allele and observed that aISC survival of the initial genotoxic insult is required for organoid survival following DXR treatment. These results suggest that although typical fISC genes are activated by DXR-induced injury in organoids, functional stemness remains dependent on the aISC pool. Finally, we show that human intestinal organoids require higher doses of DXR to induce loss of survival and downregulation of LGR5. Our data establish a reproducible model of DXR-induced injury in intestinal organoids and reveal differences in in vitro responses to an established in vivo damage modality.
