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

Mosaic mutations in the X-linked cell adhesion molecule Protocadherin 19 (PCDH19) lead to epilepsy with cognitive impairment, whereas complete absence of functional protein, although possibly linked to autistic features, does not elicit any seizures. It is believed that mosaic expression of PCDH19 leads to defective neuronal communication, but whether further roles beyond cell adhesion are critical for PCDH19 function in the cortex is currently unknown. We confirm that the proteolytic processing of PCDH19, previously described in hippocampal neurons, also takes place in mouse cortical neurons in vivo and show that nuclear transport of its intracellular domain is mediated by importins. RNAseq analysis further indicates that the intracellular domain of PCDH19 leads to broad transcriptomic changes. Finally, we use
