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

Disrupted cortical neuronal migration is associated with epileptic seizures and developmental delay. However, the molecular mechanism by which disruptions of early cortical development result in neurological symptoms is poorly understood. Here we report α2-chimaerin as a key regulator of cortical neuronal migration and function. In utero suppression of α2-chimaerin arrested neuronal migration at the multipolar stage, leading to accumulation of ectopic neurons in the subcortical region. Mice with such migration defects showed an imbalance between excitation and inhibition in local cortical circuitry and greater susceptibility to convulsant-induced seizures. We further show that α2-chimaerin regulates bipolar transition and neuronal migration through modulating the activity of CRMP-2, a microtubule-associated protein. These findings establish a new α2-chimaerin-dependent mechanism underlying neuronal migration and proper functioning of the cerebral cortex and provide insights into the pathogenesis of seizure-related neurodevelopmental disorders.
