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

Since its first description the polysialylated form of NCAM (PSA-NCAM) is thought to be a major regulator of cell-cell interactions in the nervous system. Over the past few years many crucial questions have been answered concerning PSA biosynthesis and function. Among these are the identification and cloning of the key enzymes that are responsible for its synthesis and the fact that expression of PSA is not restricted to developmental stages but maintained in the adult nervous system. In the adult, PSA has been shown to be not only a marker of structural plasticity but seems to be a major player in these processes. Originally suggested to be a purely anti-adhesive factor, modulating cell-cell interactions in general and by this allowing plasticity, there is now increasing evidence that this might not be the whole story. Instead, it appears possible that PSA-NCAM interacts with secreted signaling molecules and by this fulfills a more instructive function in brain plasticity.
