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 Ebf transcription factors play important roles in the developmental processes of many tissues. We have shown previously that four members of the Ebf family are expressed during mouse retinal development and are both necessary and sufficient to specify multiple retinal cell fates. Here we describe the changes in cell differentiation and retinal ganglion cell (RGC) projection in Ebf1 knockout mice. Analysis of marker expression in Ebf1 null mutant retinas reveals that loss of Ebf1 function causes a significant increase of Müller cells. Moreover, there is an obvious decrease of ipsilateral and retinoretinal projections of RGC axons at the optic chiasm, whereas the contralateral projection significantly increases in the mutant mice. These data together suggests that Ebf1 is required for suppressing the Müller cell fate during retinogenesis and important for the correct topographic projection of RGC axons at the optic chiasm.
