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

Aside from rare counterexamples (e.g. the starburst amacrine cell in retina), neurons are polarized into two compartments, dendrites and axon, which are linked at the cell body. This structural polarization carries an underlying molecular definition and maps into a general functional polarization whereby inputs are collected by the dendrites and cell body, and output is distributed via the axon. Explanations of how the polarized structure arises invariably coalesce around somatic polarity, defined by the roving location of the microtubule organizing centre, or centrosome, the Golgi apparatus, associated endosomes and the nucleus during early development. In some neurons, proper positioning of these structures can determine the sites for axon and dendrite elongation, and support processes that underlie cell migration. We briefly review these events as a basis to propose a new role for polarized arrangement of somatic organelles as a potential determinant for patterned innervation of the cell body membrane. We cite an example from preliminary studies of synaptogenesis at the calyx of Held, a large nerve terminal that selectively innervates the cell body of its postsynaptic partner, and suggest other neural systems in which polarity mechanisms may guide initial synapse formation onto the somatic surface.
