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 myosin II activator Rho-kinase (Rok) is planar polarized at the tissue boundary of the Drosophila embryonic salivary gland placode through a negative regulation by the apical polarity protein Crumbs that is anisotropically localized at the boundary. However, in inner cells of the placode, both Crumbs and Rok are isotropically enriched at junctions. We propose that modulation of Rok membrane residence time by Crumbs' downstream effectors can reconcile both behaviors. Using FRAP combined with in silico simulations, we find that the lower membrane dissociation rate (k
