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 contribution and order of polarity complexes and vesicular trafficking events during lumen formation remains obscure. Now, lumenogenesis in MDCK cell cysts is shown to require a Rab11a-Rabin8-Rab8a network that recruits Sec15A and Cdc42 and that promotes apical exocytosis by enlisting the Par complex and Sec8-Sec10 to an early apical membrane initiation site.
