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

Neural development requires a series of cellular events starting with cell specification, proliferation, and migration. Subsequently, axons and dendrites project from the cell surface to form connections to other neurons, interneurons and glia. Anomalies in any one of these steps can lead to malformation or malfunction of the nervous system. Here we review the critical role the primary cilium plays in the fundamental steps of neurodevelopment. By highlighting human diseases caused by mutations in cilia-associated proteins, it is clear that cilia are essential to multiple neural processes. Furthermore, we explore whether additional aspects of cilia regulation, most notably post-translational modification of the tubulin scaffold in cilia, play underappreciated roles in neural development. Finally, we discuss whether cilia-associated proteins function outside the cilium in some aspects of neurodevelopment. These data underscore both the importance of cilia in the nervous system and some outstanding questions in the field.
