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

1. Morphologically developmental properties of fetal mouse cortical neurons in the chemically defined serum- and antioxidant-free culture condition were observed. Also, cellular composition in cultures was identified by immunostaining with anti-NSE and anti-GFAP. 2. Various cell densities ranging from 1 x 10(3) to 1 x 10(6) cells/cm2 were prepared to further assess the effect of cell density on time-course of neuronal survival by counting the number of remaining attached neurons after 3 and 7 days in culture. 3. Neuronal responses to neurotrophic effect of NGF on neurite outgrowth and neuroprotective effect of MK-801 against glutamate-induced excitotoxity were evaluated by image analysis and MTT assay, respectively. 4. Results showed that this culture system was neuronal-enriched with a neuronal lifetime more than 35 days. Neurons survived best when seeded at a density > or =1.5 x 10(5) cells/cm2. Cultured neurons were capable of exhibiting sensitive responses to the effects of NGF and MK-801. 5. These findings suggest that this primary culture system provides a sensitive and powerful in vitro model for pharmacological screen and studies of neurotrophic and neuroprotective agents.
