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

The migration of neurons from their birthplace to their correct destination is one of the most crucial steps in brain development. Incomplete or incorrect migration yields ectopic neurons, which cause neurologic deficits or are negligible at best. However, the granule cells (GCs) in the cerebellar cortex may challenge this traditional view of ectopic neurons. When animals are born, GCs proliferate near the pia mater and then migrate down to the GC layer located deep in the cerebellar cortex. However, some GC-like cells stay in the molecular layer, a layer between the pia mater and GC layer, even in normal adult animals. These cells were named ectopic GCs nearly 50 years ago, but their abundance and functional properties remain unclear. Here, we have examined GCs in the molecular layer (mGCs) with a specific marker for mature GCs and transgenic mice in which GCs are sparsely labeled with a fluorescent protein. Contrary to the previous assumption that mGCs are a minor neuronal population, we have found that mGCs are as prevalent as stellate or basket cells in the posterior cerebellum. They are produced during a similar period as regular GCs (rGCs), and
