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

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) plays an important role in the control of chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation, a process critical for normal development of the skeleton. To reveal the contributions of the epithelial Fgfr3b isoform and the mesenchymal Fgfr3c isoform to skeletal overgrowth seen in mice, in which both isoforms have been inactivated (Fgf3c(-/-) mice), we have generated mice in which each of the two Fgfr3 isoforms has been selectively inactivated. Whereas no apparent phenotype was detected in Fgfr3b(-/-) mice, strong stimulation of chondrocyte proliferation in the growth plates of Fgf3c(-/-) mice caused dramatic skeletal overgrowth and other skeletal abnormalities resembling the phenotype of mice deficient in both Fgfr3 isoforms. In addition, Fgfr3c(-/-) mice exhibited decreased bone mineral density in the cortical and trabecular bone, whereas the bone mineral density of Fgfr3b(-/-) mice resembled that of WT mice. These experiments demonstrated that the mesenchymal Fgfr3c isoform is responsible for controlling chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation that mediate normal skeletal development, whereas the epithelial Fgfr3b isoform does not contribute toward this process.
