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

We have developed a method for genetically modifying Schwann cells (SCs) in vitro and then assessed whether these SCs could interact normally with axons in vivo. Rat SCs were transduced in vitro with the lacZ gene by using a retroviral vector and then expanded with the SC mitogens forskolin and glial growth factor. These mitogen-expanded SCs had an abnormal phenotype as compared to both SCs in vivo and primary SCs in vitro, yet when they were introduced into a regenerating rat sciatic nerve, they formed morphologically normal myelin sheaths around the axons. These results demonstrate that SCs can be genetically altered, their numbers expanded in culture, and yet respond appropriately to axonal signals in the peripheral nervous system. This approach offers a plausible way to manipulate genes involved in axon-SC interactions, including genes that may be defective in some inherited peripheral neuropathies.
