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

Neural crest cells give rise to the neurons of the enteric nervous system (ENS) that innervate the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to regulate gut motility. The immense size and distinct subregions of the gut present a challenge to understanding the spatial organization and sequential differentiation of different neuronal subtypes. Here, we profile enteric neurons (ENs) and progenitors at single-cell resolution during zebrafish embryonic and larval development to provide a near-complete picture of transcriptional changes that accompany the emergence of ENS neurons throughout the GI tract. Multiplex spatial RNA transcript analysis identifies the temporal order and distinct localization patterns of neuronal subtypes along the length of the gut. Finally, we show that functional perturbation of select transcription factors Ebf1a, Gata3, and Satb2 alters the cell fate choice, respectively, of inhibitory, excitatory, and serotonergic neuronal subtypes in the developing ENS.
