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

Introduction: The axonemes of eukaryotic cilia and flagella display high tubulin glutamylation heterogeneity, yet the functional significance of this variation remains elusive. We previously showed that long-chain polyglutamylation is crucial for ciliary motility in Methods: To investigate the roles of different glutamylation states, we generated Results: While axonemal polyglutamylation levels remained largely unaffected in these mutants, abundance of short-chain glutamylation was significantly increased in both the axonemal and cytoplasmic microtubules of Discussion: These findings indicate that the abundance of short- chain species, regulated by CCP5, plays a distinct role in modulating ciliary motility, particularly in the absence of long polyglutamate side chains. This suggests that even minimal glutamylation can functionally support dynein- driven microtubule sliding.
