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

Hedgehog proteins constitute one of a small number of families of secreted signals that have a central role in the development of metazoans. Genetic analyses in flies, fish and mice have uncovered the major components of the pathway that transduces Hedgehog signals, and recent genome sequence projects have provided clues about its evolutionary origins. In this Review we provide an updated overview of the mechanisms and functions of this signalling pathway, highlighting the conserved and divergent features of the pathway, as well as some of the common themes in its deployment that have emerged from recent studies.
