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 distal mouse digit tip regenerates postamputation, while the proximal digit undergoes fibrosis. This study presents a comparative single-cell RNA sequencing-based analysis of regenerating and nonregenerating digits to computationally identify fibroblast subpopulations and genes associated with fibrosis and regeneration. To test the sufficiency of identified candidate genes to alter wound healing outcomes, we developed a robust adeno-associated virus gene delivery technique for digit fibroblasts. We found that overexpression of candidate profibrotic gene
