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

This paper investigated the role of cilia gene defects in bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) in idiopathic scoliosis (IS). IS, a spinal deformity commonly occurring in adolescence, impacts patients' quality of life. Cilia, axial filaments covered by the cell membrane and composed of microtubules on the eukaryotic cell surface, include motile cilia and primary cilia. Primary cilia on the surface of most cells mediate intracellular signaling pathways. Cilia dysfunction correlates with skeletal diseases. Defects in cilia genes disrupt osteogenic signaling pathways in BMSCs, promoting IS progression. By sample analysis, lentiviral transfection of BMSCs, and in vivo experiments in zebrafish, we explored the impact of cilia gene defects on BMSCs' osteogenic signaling pathways and IS, revealing that defects impaired ciliogenesis, cellular signaling, and mechanical sensing, and affected vertebral alignment and skeletal patterning. These findings highlight the role of cilia gene defects in IS pathology, providing potential targets for clinical treatment.
