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

Following the publication of the above paper, a concerned reader has drawn the Editor's attention to the fact that the western blot data used to portray the Sox9 and Col2a1 data in Fig. 1C were strikingly similar, although the dimensions of the bands in these figure parts differed. After having conducted an independent investigation of the data in this paper in the Editorial Office, it also came to light that various of the western blot protein bands featured in Figs. 1E, 3C and 4C bore striking similarities to data in other figure parts, where different experiments were intended to have been portrayed, albeit with the apparent resizing of the data bands in some cases, or in one case, where the experimental lanes in the figure parts were labelled differently (Fig. 1E  vs. Fig. 3C). Given the identification of these duplications of the data in this paper, the Editor of
