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

Using a transgenic mouse line in which GFP is expressed in a single population of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), Huberman and colleagues report in this issue of Neuron that the axon terminals of RGCs exhibit an orderly pattern of distribution in the higher visual centers. This pattern undergoes a developmental refinement, and synchronous activity in the retina regulates columnar but not laminar formation.
