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

Spliceosomopathies, which are a group of disorders caused by defects in the splicing machinery, frequently affect the craniofacial skeleton and limb, but the molecular mechanism underlying this tissue-specific sensitivity remains unclear. Splicing factors and small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) are core components of splicing machinery, and splicing factors are further controlled by post-translational modifications, among which arginine methylation is one of the most prevalent. We determined the splicing mechanisms in the cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs), a multipotent developmental population that gives rise to the majority of the craniofacial skeleton, and focused on an upstream regulator of splicing proteins, protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1). PRMT1 is the highest expressing arginine methyltransferase in CNCCs, and its role in craniofacial development is evident from our earlier investigation, where CNCC-specific
