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

Our knowledge on Neuregulin-1 (Nrg-1) during development of the nervous system is increasing rapidly, but little is known about Nrg-1-ErbB signaling in the adult brain. Nrg-1 is involved in determination, proliferation, differentiation, and migration of neurons and glial cells in the developing brain. In the peripheral nervous system, Nrg-1 signaling is required for Schwann cell differentiation and myelination, and establishment of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). Multiple alternative splicing of Nrg-1 was shown, but correlation of its structural and functional diversity was rarely addressed. Therefore, we investigated the expression of Nrg-1 isoforms in the rat brain and brain-derived cell types, and their involvement in regeneration of the adult brain, using immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and semiquantitative RT-PCR. We found expression of at least 12 distinct Nrg-1 isoforms in the brain and altered expression of several isoforms in the facial motor nucleus after peripheral transection of the seventh cranial nerve. An upregulation of Nrg-1 type-I mRNA, probably type- I-alpha, was observed in reactive astrocytes of the facial nucleus 1 d postaxotomy. Nrg-1 type-III and the splice variants beta1 and beta5 are dramatically downregulated in axotomized motoneurons, which lack contact to their target tissue. Baseline expression levels were reestablished when the first axons reached the facial muscles and reformed NMJs. Nrg-1-beta1 and -beta5 might act in maintenance of NMJs. The splice variants beta2 and beta4 display an initial downregulation of mRNA levels, followed by an increase during the period of axon remyelination. Thus, Nrg- 1-beta2 and -beta4 might be involved in myelination.
