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

Cone-rod dystrophy (CRD) is a macular degeneration disorder characterized by initial cone cell degeneration. Mutations in CDHR1, a photoreceptor-specific cadherin, have been found to be associated with the incidence of CRD. While studying the function of CDHR1, we observed that the localization of the zebrafish homologue, cdhr1a, resembles that of calyceal process (CPs). When co-labeling CPs using pcdh15b, we observed that cdhr1a, in the outer segment (OS), juxtaposes with pcdh15b, found in the CP. Similar localization patterns were detected in human, macaque, xenopus, ducks, gerbil, and mouse. Using immunoprecipitation and K652 cell aggregation assays, we demonstrate that pcdh15b and cdhr1a can interact and thus potentially link the OS and CP. To analyze the consequences of OS-CP interactions in CRD, we established a
