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

Precise synaptic connectivity emerges through coordinated interactions between neurons and their target cells during development. At the Drosophila embryonic neuromuscular junction (NMJ), postsynaptic muscle fibers actively participate in this process by extending dynamic, actin-rich protrusions termed myopodia that interact with approaching motor growth cones. Previous work focusing on muscle 12 (M12) revealed that myopodia cluster at nascent neuron-muscle contact sites, suggesting that specialized postsynaptic architectures may facilitate synaptic partner selection. However, whether similar morphogenetic strategies operate across the diverse set of embryonic muscles has remained unclear. Here, we establish a genetic imaging toolkit that enables minimally invasive visualization of defined muscle subsets throughout the embryo.
