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 development of a functional nervous system entails establishing connectivity between appropriate synaptic partners. During axonal pathfinding, the developing axon navigates through the extracellular environment, extending toward postsynaptic targets. In the early 1900s, Ramon y Cajal suggested that the growth cone, a specialized, dynamic, and cytoskeletal-rich structure at the tip of the extending axon, is guided by chemical cues in the extracellular environment. A century of work supports this hypothesis and introduced myriad guidance cues and receptors that promote a variety of growth cone behaviors including extension, pause, collapse, retraction, turning, and branching. Here, we highlight research from the last two years regarding pathways implicated in axon pathfinding.
