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

Embryonic neural stem and progenitor cells occupy a specialized niche along the lateral ventricles, where receptors on their apical membrane sense extracellular cues essential for preserving progenitor identity. How such surface signals are coupled to mitochondrial metabolism remains unclear. Here, we identify EPHA2 as a receptor enriched in cortical progenitors and show that disruption of its non-canonical, ligand-independent signaling compromises progenitor maintenance in vivo. EPHA2 perturbation reduces mitochondrial respiration, Complex I activity, and mitochondrial NAD
