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

To understand how ciliopathies such as polycystic kidney disease or Bardet-Biedl syndrome develop, we need to understand the basic molecular mechanisms underlying cilium development. Cilium growth depends on the presence of functional intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery, and we hypothesized that various kinases and phosphatases might be involved in this regulatory process. A candidate screen revealed two kinases, PKG-1 (a cGMP-dependent protein kinase) and GCK-2 (a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 3 [MAP4K3] kinase involved in mTOR signaling), significantly affecting dye filling, chemotaxis, cilium morphology, and IFT component distribution. PKG-1 and GCK-2 show similar expression patterns in
