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

Morphogenesis and cell-type differentiation are highly coordinated in sensory organs to ensure their function. Morphogenesis of the olfactory placode in zebrafish provides a unique model to study this process as undifferentiated cells aligned around the anterior neural plate mature into clusters of early olfactory neurons across a short timescale. Although the Cxcl12a/Cxcr4b signaling pathway drives this process, what constraints on pathway activation apply during morphogenesis are unclear. We developed a mathematical model recapitulating Cxcl12a-mediated olfactory placode morphogenesis. Restoring Cxcl12a expression in mutants for the ligand rescues correct morphogenesis both
