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

Increasing evidence indicates that insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) has an important role in oligodendrocyte development. In this study, we examined myelination during postnatal development in IGF-I knock-out (KO) mice by assessing myelin staining, the expression of myelin basic protein (MBP) and proteolipid protein (PLP), two major myelin-specific proteins, and the number of oligodendrocytes and their precursors. For comparison, we also measured the expression of median subunit of the neuron-specific intermediate filament, M-neurofilament (M-NF), to obtain an index of the effects of IGF-I deficiency on neurons. We found that myelin staining, MBP and PLP expression, and the percentage of oligodendrocytes and their precursors are significantly reduced in all brain regions of developing IGF-I KO mice but are similar to controls in adult IGF-I KO mice. In contrast, the abundance of M-NF was decreased in both the developing and adult brain of IGF-I KO mice. We also found that IGF-II protein abundance is increased in the brains of IGF-I KO mice. Our data indicate, therefore, that myelination during early development is altered in the absence of IGF-I by mechanisms that involve a reduction in oligodendrocyte proliferation and development. Although neuronal actions cannot be excluded in the myelin normalization, the reduced axonal growth suggested by the reduced M-NF expression makes a role for neuronal factors less compelling. These data suggest that IGF-I plays a significant role in myelination during normal early development and that IGF-II can compensate in part for IGF-I actions on myelination.
