Tissue linkage through adjoining basement membranes: The long and the short term of it.
Review in Matrix biology : journal of the International Society for Matrix Biology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers.
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.
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
Basement membranes (BMs) are thin dense sheets of extracellular matrix that surround most tissues. When the BMs of neighboring tissues come into contact, they usually slide along one another and act to separate tissues and organs into distinct compartments. However, in certain specialized regions, the BMs of neighboring tissues link, helping to bring tissues together. These BM connections can be transient, such as during tissue fusion events in development, or long-term, as with adult tissues involved with filtration, including the blood brain barrier and kidney glomerulus. The transitory nature of these connections in development and the complexity of tissue filtration systems in adults have hindered the understanding of how juxtaposed BMs fasten together. The recent identification of a BM-BM adhesion system in C. elegans, termed B-LINK (BM linkage), however, is revealing cellular and extracellular matrix components of a nascent tissue adhesion system. We discuss insights gained from studying the B-LINK tissue adhesion system in C. elegans, compare this adhesion with other BM-BM connections in Drosophila and vertebrates, and outline important future directions towards elucidating this fascinating and poorly understood mode of adhesion that joins neighboring tissues.
