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

The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily is crucial for regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and tissue homeostasis, and plays a central role in embryonic development and function of tissues and organs. Dysregulation of these pathways contributes to a broad spectrum of diseases, including cancer, fibrosis, and developmental disorders. The present review explores how the primary cilium, a specialized signaling organelle, orchestrates TGF-β superfamily signaling, with a focus on emerging evidence of its role in heart and brain development, as well as in tissue homeostasis.
