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

Wnt pathways are critical developmental signaling cascades that are conserved across multicellular life. A clear role for Wnt signaling in proper neural development has been well-established, yet less is known about its sustained expression and signaling in the mature nervous system. The precise role for Wnt pathways, canonical or otherwise, and individual Wnt components (ligands, receptors, transducers, effectors, and regulators) in the mature brain are poorly understood. However, genetic evidence implicating Wnt-related components in both neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders suggests that fine-tuned regulation of Wnt signaling is required for proper nervous system development and long-term homeostasis. Much has been documented about down-regulated Wnt signaling and its association with neurological conditions. Hence, the focus of this review is to consolidate and highlight the evidence for up-regulated Wnt transcription and/or signaling in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders with a brief discussion on the role of deregulated Wnt in cancer. Finally, we touch upon the therapeutic prospect of Wnt inhibition in the nervous system.
