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

Cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs), the sole output neurons of the cerebellar cortex, are essential for motor coordination, learning and circuit formation. While functionally diverse, the extent of PC heterogeneity and the molecular drivers of this diversity remain unclear. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we identified at least 11 molecularly distinct PC subtypes in the embryonic mouse cerebellum. Spatial reconstruction revealed that these subtypes are organized in embryonic patterns that predict key features of adult cerebellar architecture, including longitudinal stripes and lobular specificities. PC-subtype identity is defined by the combinatorial expression of Foxp1, Foxp2 and Foxp4. Genetic deletion of Foxp1 and Foxp2 disrupts PC diversification and cerebellar patterning, including the loss of a Foxp1
