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

WNT5a is a lipid-modified glycoprotein member of the WNT family of signaling molecules. Two isoforms of WNT5a have been identified that are conserved across mice and humans. These isoforms display specific functions in regulating cancer cell activities. While WNT5a is, indeed, essential for normal lung development and homeostasis, and is dysregulated in multiple lung diseases, little to no information is available regarding the expression or potential function of WNT5a isoforms in normal or diseased lungs. Such information has the potential to help to elucidate the more precise and nuanced functions of WNT5a in various pulmonary conditions. In this study, we characterized the expression of individual
