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

Mutations that reduce UBE3A cause Angelman syndrome (AS), a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by severe developmental delay and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Although UBE3A has been studied primarily in neurons, it is also expressed in the oligodendrocyte lineage, raising the possibility that glial dysfunction contributes to disease phenotypes. Here we identify an intrinsic, UBE3A-dependent mechanism that governs oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) homeostasis, a process necessary for normal myelination. Using human iPSC-derived OPCs, we performed a targeted compound screen and found that loss of UBE3A diminishes estrogen receptor-β (ESRβ) signaling, leading to impaired OPC self-renewal. Mechanistically, UBE3A sustains ESRβ levels in OPCs and thereby maintains downstream signaling required for OPC proliferation and stable OPC density. To address cell-type specificity and neuron-glia interactions, we combined oligodendrocyte-lineage-restricted
