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

We describe claw-like projections and their associated structures as encountered at the tips of cilia in a cerebellar epithelial cyst, an intraspinal bronchogenic cyst and two colloid cysts of the third ventricle. Ciliary claws appear either as a single structure or as a cluster of two to five projections measuring 22-28 nm in length and 8-10 nm in diameter, extending from the plasma membrane of the ciliary tip. The transmembranous fibrils of the ciliary claws are bound to a multilayered electron-dense disc which is attached by the distal ends of axonemal microtubules. These observations suggest that ciliary claws are common in several types of epithelial cysts of the central nervous system; the presence of these structures supports the premise that the corresponding epithelium is of endodermal origin.
