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

Axon guidance molecules and neuronal activity have been implicated in the establishment and refinement of neural circuits during development. It is unclear, however, whether these guidance molecule- and activity-dependent mechanisms interact with one another to shape neural circuit formation. The formation of corticospinal (CS) circuits, which are essential for voluntary movements, involves both guidance molecule- and activity-dependent components during development. We previously showed that semaphorin6D (Sema6D)-plexinA1 (PlexA1) signaling eliminates ipsilateral projections of CS neurons in the spinal cord, while other studies demonstrate that CS projections to the spinal cord are eliminated in an activity-dependent manner. Here we show that inhibition of cortical neurons during postnatal development causes defects in elimination of ipsilateral CS projections in mice. We further show that mice that lack the activity-dependent Bax/Bak pathway or
