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

In the developing nervous system, axons navigate through complex terrains that change depending on when and where outgrowth begins. For instance, in the developing cochlea, spiral ganglion neurons extend their peripheral processes through a growing and heterogeneous environment en route to their final targets, the hair cells. Although the basic principles of axon guidance are well established, it remains unclear how axons adjust strategies over time and space. Here, we show that neurons with different positions in the spiral ganglion employ different guidance mechanisms, with evidence for both glia-guided growth and fasciculation along a neuronal scaffold. Processes from neurons in the rear of the ganglion are more directed and grow faster than those from neurons at the border of the ganglion. Further, processes at the wavefront grow more efficiently when in contact with glial precursors growing ahead of them. These findings suggest a tiered mechanism for reliable axon guidance.
