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

Wnt signaling pathways play important roles in various developmental and oncogenic processes. In the nervous system, Wnt signaling regulates neuronal morphogenesis and synaptic differentiation. Disturbance of Wnt signaling is implicated in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases. Recent studies indicate that Wnt signaling in neurons is closely coupled to synaptic activation, and that the activity-regulated Wnt signaling is critical for the expression of synaptic plasticity and the formation of memory. Dysregulation of the activity-regulated Wnt signaling may have a significant impact on the function of the nervous system. In this article, we will review the identified mechanisms by which synaptic activity controls Wnt signaling in neurons and the neurological functions of the activity-regulated Wnt signaling under normal and specific disease conditions. In particular, we will discuss the role of Wnt signaling in the pathogenesis of chronic pain.
