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 the human Filamin A (FLNA) gene disrupt neuronal migration to the cerebral cortex and cause cardiovascular defects. Complete loss of Flna in mice results in embryonic lethality with severe cardiac structural defects involving ventricles, atria, and outflow tracts, as well as widespread aberrant vascular patterning. Despite these widespread developmental defects, migration and motility of many cell types does not appear to be affected. Instead, Flna-null embryos display abnormal epithelial and endothelial organization and aberrant adherens junctions in developing blood vessels, heart, brain, and other tissues. Essential roles for FLNA in intercellular junctions provide a mechanism for the diverse developmental defects seen in patients with FLNA mutations.
