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

Mutations in doublecortin ( DCX) affect the migration of neuronal precursor cells and cause subcortical band heterotopia and lissencephaly. DCX is known to bind and bundle microtubules; however, the impact of mutation on DCX function and its relation to the manifestation of DCX-associated disorders is still unclear. We analyzed the impact of DCX mutants on COS7 cell microtubule networks. We found that both mutant and wild type DCX are able to bind and bundle microtubules; however, mutants possess a decreased ability to perturb the mitotic machinery, to cause abnormal spindle orientation, and to impair mitotic progression. The magnitude of this decrease is proportional to the severity of the mutation-associated clinical symptoms, thereby providing a cell-based assay for the prognosis of DCX-associated neuronal migration disorders.
