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

Limb regeneration in the Mexican axolotl relies on the dedifferentiation of mature limb cells into blastema cells, which gain the ability to respond to patterning signals that guide tissue regeneration. While limb nerves are essential to make the blastema cells competent to pattern, the mechanisms remain unclear due to the complex and overlapping signals in amputated limbs. To overcome this challenge, we developed the Competency Accessory Limb Model (CALM), a simplified limb regeneration assay to study the induction and maintenance of patterning competency. Using CALM, here we show specific temporal windows during which cells acquire competency and associate this state with distinct H3K27me3 chromatin signatures. Furthermore, a combination of FGF and BMP signaling is sufficient to induce patterning competency in limb wound cells, and the ErBB signaling pathway is a downstream epigenetic target of these signals. These findings offer new insights into the molecular regulation of regenerative patterning.
