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

Young axons of new retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the continuously growing goldfish retina fasciculate with one another and their immediate forerunners on their path toward the optic disk and along the optic nerve. They express the immunoglobulin superfamily cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) neurolin (DM-GRASP) and the L1-like E587 antigen. Repeated injections of Fab fragments from polyclonal antisera against neurolin (neurolin Fabs) into the eye of 3. 4-cm-long and rapidly growing goldfish caused highly aberrant pathways of young RGC axon subfascicles in the dorsal retina. Many axons grew in circles and failed to reach the optic disk. In contrast, E587 Fabs, used in parallel experiments, disrupted the fascicles but did not interfere with the disk-directed growth. Neurolin Fabs also disturbed axonal fasciculation in vivo as well as in vitro but less severely than E587 Fabs. Coinjections of both Fabs increased defasciculation of the dorsal axons in both aberrant and disk-directed routes. They also disrupted the order of young RGC axons in the optic nerve more severely than E587 Fabs alone. This demonstrates that the development of tight and orderly fascicles in the dorsal retina and in the optic nerve requires both E587 antigen and neurolin. More importantly, our results suggest an involvement of neurolin in RGC axonal guidance from the retinal periphery to the optic disk. Because disrupted fascicles and errant axon routes were found only in the dorsal retinal half, a cooperation with so-called positional markers may be conceived.
