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

Primary cilia are microtubule-based sensory organelles that have been conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution. As discussed in this Review, a cilium is an elongated and highly specialized structure, and, together with its ability to selectively traffic and concentrate proteins, lipids and second messengers, it creates a signaling environment distinct from the cell body. Ciliary signaling pathways adopt a bow-tie network architecture, in which diverse inputs converge on shared effectors and second messengers before diverging to multiple outputs. Unlike other cellular bow-tie systems, cells exploit ciliary geometry, compartmentalization and infrastructure to enhance sensitivity at multiple scales, from individual molecular reactions to entire signaling pathways. In cilia, integration of the bow-tie network architecture with their specialized structure and unique environment confers robustness and evolvability, which enables cilia to acquire diverse signaling roles. However, this versatility comes with vulnerability - rare mutations that disrupt the features most essential for cilia robustness cause multisystem ciliopathies.
