StarTrack: Mapping Cellular Fates with Inheritable Color Codes.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2025. 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
StarTrack is a powerful multicolor genetic tool designed to unravel cellular lineages arising from neural progenitor cells (NPCs). This innovative technique, based on retrospective clonal analysis and built upon the PiggyBac system, creates a unique and inheritable "color code" within NPCs. Through the stochastic integration of 12 distinct plasmids encoding six fluorescent proteins, StarTrack enables precise and comprehensive tracking of cellular fates and progenitor potentials. The versatility of this tool is further enhanced by the potential of combining multiple promoters. Whether through the use of fluorescent integrable constructs or driving the expression of the PiggyBac transposase, StarTrack broadens the horizons for lineage tracing from progenitors of multiple origins.StarTrack revolutionized our understanding of cellular origins and lineages, offering an invaluable resource for researchers in the field of neural development and lineage tracing. This protocol provides a comprehensive overview of the technique's capabilities and applications, shedding light on its significance within the scientific community.
