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

Junctional neurulation completes the sequential embryological processes of primary and secondary neurulation as the intermediary step linking the end of primary neurulation and the beginning of secondary neurulation. Its exact molecular process is a matter of ongoing scientific debate. Abnormality of junctional neurulation-junctional neural tube defect (JNTD)-was first described in 2017 based on a series of three patients who displayed a well-formed secondary neural tube, the conus, that is physically separated by a fair distance from its companion primary neural tube and functionally disconnected from rostral corticospinal control. Several other cases conforming to this bizarre neural tube arrangement have since appeared in the literature, reinforcing the validity of this entity. The clinical, neuroimaging, and electrophysiological features of JNTD, as well as the hypothesis of its embryogenetic mechanism, will be described in this chapter.
