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

Tubulogenesis depends on precise cell shape changes driven by asymmetric tension from the actin cytoskeleton. How actin asymmetry is dynamically controlled to coordinate epithelial cell shape changes required for respiratory tubulogenesis remains unknown. Herein, we unveiled a critical role for the transcription factor KLF5, regulating actin asymmetry, inducing epithelial cell shape changes by balancing RHOA and CDC42 GTPase activity via RICH2. Conditional
