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

In Xenopus tailbud embryos, the mandibular branch of trigeminal sensory nerve has a transient pathway innervating the cement gland. This pathway is settled by pioneer neurons in the trigeminal ganglion and along which extend later-growing axons from the trigeminal ganglion and the hindbrain. Axons in this branch express a neuronal recognition molecule, Contactin 1, from the initial stage of its outgrowth in early tailbud embryos and form a tightly joined, strongly Contactin 1-positive fascicle in the later stages. When the expression vector encoding the enhanced green fluorescent protein was electrotransfected into the brain neurons of early tailbud embryos, the fluorescence was detected in the hindbrain and the trigeminal nerve at late tailbud stages. Cotransfection of antisense vector caused knockdown of Contactin 1 concurrent with defasciculation and misguidance of the sensory axons in the trigeminal mandibular branch. The results suggest that Contactin 1 is required for the growing axon of hindbrain sensory neurons to recognize and follow the pathway settled by the pioneer neurons.
