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

The activation and transformation model of vertebrate nervous system formation posits that neural tissue is initially induced, or activated, with anterior forebrain character. Once established, a subset is then transformed into the more posterior midbrain, hindbrain, and spinal cord by signals emanating from the posterior of the embryo. This has been a predominant model in the field for decades. In the June issue of EMBO Reports, Polevoy and colleagues evaluate the role of signals thought to act as the neural transforming factors during Xenopus development, and find that while these signals are consistent with the activation transformation model during brain patterning, they do not fit the model with respect to spinal cord formation [1]. This work, along with other recent studies on the origin of the spinal cord, necessitates an updated model of vertebrate nervous system formation, where spinal cord induction and patterning is distinct from that of the brain.
