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

Cerebrospinal Fluid-contacting neurons (CSF-cNs) are GABAergic bipolar neurons found, in contact with the cerebrospinal fluid, along the vertebrate medullo-spinal central canal. They express Polycystin Kidney Disease 2-Like 1 channels (PKD2L1), members of the Transient Receptor Potential superfamily, and were shown to modulate motor activity and therefore suggested to act as a novel sensory system. However, in mice, they remain largely uncharacterized and it is crucial to comprehensively characterize their morphological and electrophysiological properties to determine whether they form a homogenous neuronal population and understand their role in the CNS. We show that CSF-cNs are distributed throughout the spinal cord with a uniform morphology and a primarily ventral localization. They exhibit region-specific properties, expression of voltage-dependent and ligand-gated conductances and detect variation in extracellular pH through activation of PKD2L1 and Acid-sensing Ion Channels. They possess GABA
