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

Growing axons encounter numerous developmental signals to which they must promptly respond in order to properly form complex neural circuitry. In the axons, these signals are often transduced into a local increase or decrease in protein levels. Contrary to the traditional view that the cell bodies are the exclusive source of axonal proteins, it is becoming increasingly clear not only that de novo protein synthesis takes place in axons, but also that it is required for the axons to respond to certain signals. Here we review the current knowledge of local mRNA translation in developing neurons with a special focus on protein synthesis occurring in axons and growth cones.
