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

Tube formation is a ubiquitous process required to sustain life in multicellular organisms. The tubular organs of adult mammals include the lungs, vasculature, digestive and excretory systems, as well as secretory organs such as the pancreas, salivary, prostate, and mammary glands. Other tissues, including the embryonic heart and neural tube, have requisite stages of tubular organization early in development. To learn the molecular and cellular basis of how epithelial cells are organized into tubular organs of various shapes and sizes, investigators have focused on the Drosophila trachea and salivary gland as model genetic systems for branched and unbranched tubes, respectively. Both organs begin as polarized epithelial placodes, which through coordinated cell shape changes, cell rearrangement, and cell migration form elongated tubes. Here, we discuss what has been discovered regarding the details of cell fate specification and tube formation in the two organs; these discoveries reveal significant conservation in the cellular and molecular events of tubulogenesis.
