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

The human CYFIP1 gene is linked to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Schizophrenia (SCZ), both associated with brain connectivity defects and corpus callosum abnormalities. Previous studies demonstrated that Cyfip1-heterozygous mice exhibit diminished bilateral functional connectivity and callosal defects-resembling observations in ASD and SCZ patients. Here, we demonstrate that CYFIP1 is crucial for cortical axonal development and identify insufficient calcium uptake as the pivotal mechanism. In vivo, Cyfip1 heterozygosity delays callosal axon growth and arborization. Additionally, Cyfip1-deficient cortical neurons and axons have reduced intracellular calcium, along with impaired mitochondria morphology, activity, and motility. Mechanistically, CYFIP1 binds and stabilises the mRNA of specific voltage-gated calcium channel subunits, explaining the decreased calcium concentration in Cyfip1
