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

Neurodevelopment is an intricate process encompassing the proliferation, differentiation, migration and maturation of neural cells. Disruptions in these tightly regulated events can lead to a variety of neurodevelopmental disorders. Filamin A (FLNA), a key actin-binding protein, plays a pivotal role in regulating neuronal migration, morphological development and synaptic connectivity by modulating actin cytoskeletal dynamics and interacting with various signalling pathways. FLNA mutations are implicated in several neurodevelopmental disorders, such as periventricular nodular heterotopia (PVNH), leading to neurological symptoms such as epilepsy, intellectual disability and cognitive impairments. In this review, we delve into FLNA's multifaceted role in neurodevelopment, with a particular focus on its contributions to neuronal migration, dendritic and axonal growth and mechanotransduction. Additionally, we examine how FLNA dysregulation leads to neurodevelopmental abnormalities, providing insights into its potential as a therapeutic target. By elucidating the molecular mechanisms through which FLNA governs neurodevelopment, we aim to advance our understanding of its crucial role in both brain formation and disease pathogenesis.
