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

Interest in obtaining cell lines for use in studies on the development and biochemistry of the central nervous system has motivated efforts to establish cells from primary brain cultures by the use of oncogene-transfer techniques. In previous reports, cell lines derived from astrocytes in this way have had immature or abnormal phenotypes. We have explored the possibility of specifically "targeting" expression of exogenous oncogenes to differentiated astrocytes by using the promoter of the gene encoding glial fibrillary acidic protein, which is expressed almost exclusively in such cells. We report here that cell lines displaying the phenotypic characteristics of type 1 astrocytes can be established reproducibly in this manner. Given the heterogeneity of primary cultures, the availability of clonal cell lines displaying characteristics of type 1 astrocytes should greatly facilitate our understanding of the biology of these cells.
