Ovarian stem cells: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
BACKGROUND Lei and Spradling in a recent study published in PNAS failed to detect 'germline cysts' by elegant studies using lineage tracing approach and thus concluded that adult mouse ovaries lack stem cells. They proposed that primordial follicle pool generated during fetal life is sufficient to sustain oogenesis and that there is no renewal of oocytes during adult life. Contrary to their res...
متن کاملAbsence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Randomized controlled clinical trials are conducted to determine whether differences of clinical importance exist between selected treatment regimens. When statistical analysis of the study data finds a P value greater than 5%, it is convention to deem the assessed difference nonsignificant. Just because convention dictates that such study findings be termed nonsignificant, or negative, howev...
متن کاملMolecular carriers of acquired inheritance: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
In utero exposure to environmental endocrine disruptors can cause transgenerational effects in the males of subsequent generations. DNA methylation (5 mC) was suggested, but being challenged as the molecular carrier of such epigenetic information. In a recent study, Schuster et al. show a changed small RNA profile changed in the sperm of F3 generation after F0 in utero vinclozolin exposure, sug...
متن کاملFluoridation of drinking water and chronic kidney disease: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Sir, Ludlow et al. [1] only confirmed that our knowledge of the potential adverse effects of chronic low fluoride supplementation of drinking water on normal or diseased kidneys is insufficient. More than 60 years after water fluoridation, there is no high-level evidence as most published studies are small, have methological deficiencies or are otherwise flawed. There are two areas of concern r...
متن کاملSupplemental oxygen and dypsnoea in interstitial lung disease: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
It is with great interest that we read the recent systematic review by BELL et al. [1] concerning the effects of oxygen therapy on dyspnoea and exercise capacity in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The authors report that, while supplemental oxygen increases exercise capacity, it does not improve dyspnoea. Overall, this is a well-executed systematic review that accurately reflects...
