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

Pancreatic β-cells couple nutrient and hormone sensing to insulin release. Prevailing models depict the β-cell as a homogeneous metabolic unit, overlooking specialized subcellular compartments like the primary cilium. Primary cilia are sensory organelles that function as critical signaling hubs in pancreatic β-cells. Disrupting primary cilia causes diabetes, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this review, we critically assess evidence supporting the cilium's role in β-cells, including functional studies that implicate cilia in the control of cytosolic Ca
