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

Cadherin-7 (Cad7) and cadherin-6B (Cad6B) are expressed in early and late phases of cranial motoneuron development, respectively. Cad7 is expressed by cranial motoneurons soon after they are generated, as well as in the environment through which their axons extend. By contrast, Cad6B is expressed by mature cranial motoneurons. We demonstrate in chick that these cadherins play distinct roles in cranial motor axon morphology, branching and projection. Using in vitro approaches, we show that Cad7 enhances motor axon outgrowth, suppresses the formation of multiple axons and restricts interstitial branching, thus promoting the development of a single unbranched axon characteristic of differentiating motoneurons. Conversely, Cad6B in vitro promotes motor axon branching, a characteristic of mature motoneurons. In vivo gain- and loss-of-function experiments for these cadherins yielded phenotypes consistent with this interpretation. In particular, a loss of cadherin-mediated interactions in vivo led to dysregulation of the cranial motoneuron normal branching programme and caused axon navigation defects. We also demonstrate that Cad6B functions via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway. Together, these data show that Cad7 and Cad6B differentially regulate cranial motoneuron growth, branching and axon guidance.
