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

The mammalian cerebellum is histologically uniform. However, underlying the simple laminar architecture is a complex arrangement of parasagittal stripes and transverse zones that can be revealed by the expression of many molecules, in particular, zebrin II/aldolase C. By using a combination of Purkinje cell antigenic markers and afferent tracing, four transverse zones have been identified: in mouse, these are the anterior zone (∼lobules I-V), the central zone (∼lobules VI-VII), the posterior zone (PZ: ∼lobules VIII-dorsal IX), and the nodular zone (∼ventral lobule IX + lobule X). A fifth transverse zone-the lingular zone (∼lobule I)-is found in birds and bats. Within the anterior and posterior zones, parasagittal stripes of Purkinje cells expressing zebrin II alternate with those that do not. To explore this model further and to broaden our understanding of the evolution of cerebellar patterning, stripes in the PZ have been compared in multiple mammalian species. We conclude that a posterior zone with a conserved stripe organization is a common feature of the mammalian and avian cerebellar vermis and that zonal boundaries are independent of cerebellar lobulation.
