EphA4 Is Required for Neural Circuits Controlling Skilled Reaching.

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.
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
Skilled forelimb movements are initiated by feedforward motor commands conveyed by supraspinal motor pathways. The accuracy of reaching and grasping relies on internal feedback pathways that update ongoing motor commands. In mice lacking the axon guidance molecule EphA4, axonal misrouting of the corticospinal tract and spinal interneurons is manifested, leading to a hopping gait in hindlimbs. Moreover, mice with a conditional forebrain deletion of EphA4, display forelimb hopping in adaptive locomotion and exploratory reaching movements. However, it remains unclear how loss of EphA4 signaling disrupts function of forelimb motor circuit and skilled reaching and grasping movements. Here we investigated how neural circuits controlling skilled reaching were affected by the loss of EphA4. Both male and female C57BL/6 wild-type, heterozygous EphA4
