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

To explore the molecular mechanism of hair follicle apoptosis in the goat hair cycle, single-cell transcriptome sequencing was performed on 8,214 hair follicle cells in the Anagen period, Catagen period, and Telogen period. We identified nine cell types and found that Matrix cells (MCs) enriched the Wnt signaling pathway and apoptosis-related genes. Further studies revealed the key dynamic genes (such as KRT19, API5) and regulatory factors (such as MSX2, LEF1) that determine the fate of MCs. This study mapped a high-resolution cell map of goat hair follicle apoptosis, providing new insights and diagnostic biomarkers for programmed cell death.
