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

SC1 is an extracellular matrix protein that belongs to the SPARC family of matricellular molecules. This anti-adhesive protein localizes to synapses in the adult rat brain and has been postulated to modulate synapse shape. In this study, increased levels of SC1 were detected from postnatal days 10-20, with a peak at postnatal day 15, a period of intense synaptogenesis. During this time, increased colocalization of SC1 with the synaptic marker synaptophysin was observed in synapse-rich regions of the cerebellum and the cerebral cortex. These findings indicate that the pattern of SC1 localization coincided with synaptogenesis during rat postnatal development.
