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

Distinctive abnormality in the organization of keratin intermediate filaments (KIFs) was found for the first time in cultured epidermal keratinocytes from two patients with hereditary epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS), which showed cleavages above the basement membrane zone due to the fragility of basal cells. KIFs in EBS keratinocytes revealed an irregular radial arrangement composed of sparse but thick KIF bundles. Furthermore, these KIF bundles in many cells changed into numerous ball-like keratin aggregates and disappeared beyond these keratin aggregates in the peripheral cytoplasm. Electron microscopy of cultured EBS keratinocytes showed that many ball-like structures consisting of fine filaments or granules or homogeneous substances were scattered in the peripheral regions of the cell attaching to the dish, and intermediate filaments appeared to be emanating from or surrounding the structures. These ball-like keratin aggregates have never been observed in normal human keratinocytes.
