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

Acquisition of cell polarity generates signaling and cytoskeletal asymmetry and thus underpins polarized cell behaviors during tissue morphogenesis. In epithelial tissues, both apical-basal polarity and planar polarity, which refers to cell polarization along an axis orthogonal to the apical-basal axis, are essential for epithelial morphogenesis and function. A prime example of epithelial planar polarity can be found in the auditory sensory epithelium (or organ of Corti, OC). Sensory hair cells, the sound receptors, acquire a planar polarized apical cytoskeleton which is uniformely oriented along an axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the cochlear duct. Both cell-intrinsic and tissue-level planar polarity are necessary for proper perception of sound. Here we review recent insights into the novel roles and mechanisms of planar polarity signaling gained from genetic analysis in mice, focusing mainly on the OC but also with some discussions on the vestibular sensory epithelia.
