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

During embryonic development in bilaterally symmetric organisms, correct midline crossing is important for the proper formation of functional neural circuits. The aberrant development of neural circuits can result in multiple neurodevelopmental disorders, including horizontal gaze palsy, congenital mirror movement disorder, and autism spectrum disorder. Thus, understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate proper axon guidance at the midline can provide insights into the pathology of neurological disorders. The signaling mechanisms that regulate midline crossing have been extensively studied in the Drosophila ventral nerve cord and the mouse embryonic spinal cord. In this review, we discuss these axon guidance mechanisms, highlighting the most recent advances in the understanding of how commissural axons switch their responsiveness from attractants to repellents during midline crossing.
