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

After optic nerve injury, several retinal ganglion cell (RGC) intrinsic signaling pathways have been shown to enhance RGC survival and RGC axonal growth. In contrast, few extrinsic cues have been identified that guide regenerating RGC axons toward and across the optic chiasm. Here, we use live-cell imaging in larval zebrafish to show that regrowing RGC axons initiate growth toward the midline and extend along a trajectory similar to their original projection. From a candidate genetic screen, we identify the glycosyltransferase Lh3 (also referred to as Plod3) to be required to direct regrowing RGC axons toward the midline during active regeneration. Moreover, we show that transgenic
