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

Tendons withstand large forces due to an aligned, dense collagen matrix. However, their low cellularity and relative inability to recruit reparative cells post-injury, coupled with a susceptibility to excessive scarring results in loss of tendon structure and function. Type III collagen (COL3) plays a key role in regulating matrix architecture and limiting scar formation following cutaneous injury; however, its role in tendon remains unclear. We examined the impact of reduced COL3 using an established murine Col3a1 knockdown model. Uninjured tendons in Col3a1
