A central role for Numb/Nbl in multiple Shh-mediated axon repulsion processes.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is an axon guidance molecule that can act as either a chemorepellent or a chemoattractant, depending on the neuron type and their developmental stage. In the developing spinal cord, Shh initially attracts commissural axons to the floor plate and later repels them after they cross the midline. In the developing visual system, Shh repels ipsilateral retinal ganglion cell (iRGC) axons at the optic chiasm. Although Shh requires the endocytic adaptor Numb for attraction of spinal commissural axons, the molecular mechanisms underlying Shh dual function in attraction and repulsion are still unclear. In this study, we show that Numb is essential for two Shh-mediated repulsion processes: iRGC axon repulsion at the optic chiasm and antero-posterior commissural axon repulsion in the spinal cord. Therefore, Numb is required for Shh-mediated attraction and repulsion. These results position Numb as a central player in the non-canonical Shh signaling pathway mediating axon repulsion.
