lron-11 guides axons in the ventral nerve cord of Caenorhabditis elegans.
Article in PloS one, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
For the nervous system to develop properly, neurons must connect in a precise way to form functional networks. This requires that outgrowing neuronal processes (axons) navigate to their target areas, where they establish proper synaptic connections. The molecular basis of this navigation process is not firmly understood. A candidate family containing putative receptors acting in various aspects of neuronal development including axon navigation are transmembrane proteins of the extracellular Leucine-Rich Repeat family (eLRRs). We systematically tested members of this family in C. elegans for a role in axon navigation in the ventral nerve cord (VNC). We found that lron-11 mutants showed VNC navigation defects in several classes of neurons, including a pioneer neuron and various classes of interneurons and motoneurons. This suggests that while most members of the lron-family do not seem to have a role in axon navigation in the VNC, lron-11 is likely to be a receptor required for correct navigation of axons in the VNC of C. elegans.
