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 unique size and complexity of the human cerebral cortex are achieved via a long and precisely regulated developmental process controlling neurogenesis, neuronal migration and differentiation. Traditionally, disorders of cortical development have been classified on the basis of the most obvious defects in one of these developmental steps. However, the more we learn about the cellular biological roles of genes that are essential for cortical development, the more we realize that these functions map onto molecular processes, but not so cleanly onto anatomical processes. Essential genes might be involved in both proliferation and migration as well as differentiation, reflecting roles for underlying molecular mechanisms in different phases of development and causing a stunning variety of cortical defects.
