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

During rodent cortex development, cells born in the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) of the basal telencephalon reach the embryonic cortex by tangential migration and differentiate as interneurons. Migrating MGE cells exhibit a saltatory progression of the nucleus and continuously extend and retract branches in their neuritic arbor. We have analyzed the migration cycle of these neurons using in vitro models. We show that the nucleokinesis in MGE cells comprises two phases. First, cytoplasmic organelles migrate forward, and second, the nucleus translocates toward these organelles. During the first phase, a large swelling that contains the centrosome and the Golgi apparatus separates from the perinuclear compartment and moves rostrally into the leading neurite, up to 30 mum from the waiting nucleus. This long-distance migration is associated with a splitting of the centrioles that line up along a linear Golgi apparatus. It is followed by the second, dynamic phase of nuclear translocation toward the displaced centrosome and Golgi apparatus. The forward movement of the nucleus is blocked by blebbistatin, a specific inhibitor of nonmuscle myosin II. Because myosin II accumulates at the rear of migrating MGE cells, actomyosin contraction likely plays a prominent role to drive forward translocations of the nucleus toward the centrosome. During this phase of nuclear translocation, the leading growth cone either stops migrating or divides, showing a tight correlation between leading edge movements and nuclear movements.
