Extrusion of BMP2+ surface colonocytes promotes stromal remodeling and tissue regeneration.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The colon epithelium frequently incurs damage through toxic influences. Repair is rapid, mediated by cellular plasticity and acquisition of the highly proliferative regenerative state. However, the mechanisms that promote the regenerative state are not well understood. Here, we reveal that upon injury and subsequent inflammatory response, IFN-γ drives widespread epithelial remodeling. IFN-γ promotes rapid apoptotic extrusion of fully differentiated surface colonocytes, while simultaneously causing differentiation of crypt-base stem and progenitor cells towards a colonocyte-like lineage. However, unlike homeostatic colonocytes, these IFN-γ-induced colonocytes neither respond to nor produce BMP-2 but retain regenerative capacity. The reduction of BMP-2-producing epithelial surface cells causes a remodeling of the surrounding mesenchymal niche, inducing high expression of HGF, which promotes proliferation of the IFN-γ-induced colonocytes. This mechanism of lineage replacement and subsequent remodeling of the mesenchymal niche enables tissue-wide adaptation to injury and efficient repair.
