Pathogenesis of Anorectal Malformations in Retinoic Acid Receptor Knockout Mice Studied by HREM.
Article in Biomedicines, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Anorectal malformations (ARMs) are relatively common congenital abnormalities, but their pathogenesis is poorly understood. Previous gene knockout studies indicated that the signalling pathway mediated by the retinoic acid receptors (RAR) is instrumental to the formation of the anorectal canal and of various urogenital structures. Here, we show that simultaneous ablation of the three RARs in the mouse embryo results in a spectrum of malformations of the pelvic organs in which anorectal and urinary bladder ageneses are consistently associated. We found that these ageneses could be accounted for by defects in the processes of growth and migration of the cloaca, the embryonic structure from which the anorectal canal and urinary bladder originate. We further show that these defects are preceded by a failure of the lateral shift of the umbilical arteries and propose vascular abnormalities as a possible cause of ARM. Through the comparisons of these phenotypes with those of other mutant mice and of human patients, we would like to suggest that morphological data may provide a solid base to test molecular as well as clinical hypotheses.
