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

The cytoskeleton plays a vital role in neuromuscular junction (NMJ) formation. It is responsible for shaping synaptic membrane into folds opposed to presynaptic active zones and anchoring acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) to the crest of the junctional folds. Acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) associate with the actin cytoskeleton, the disruption of which affects spontaneous and agrin-induced AChR clusters (Prives et al., 1982; Connolly, 1984; Peng and Phelan, 1984; Bloch, 1986; Dai et al., 2000). How AChRs are tethered to the actin cytoskeleton remains unclear.
