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

Physical interactions among cells and their processes are critical for intercellular communication and the generation of ordered tissue patterns. Primary cilia projecting from the cell surface have recently been shown to form contacts with the processes of diverse cell types, as well as with other cilia, in the brain and other organs. Whether these ciliary contacts are established in an instructive manner or are formed passively due to physical proximity is unclear. Ultrastructural analyses previously showed that the cilia of a subset of sensory neurons in the head amphid organs of
