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

A yellow fluorescence protein (YFP) reporter construct was cloned downstream of the beta-tubulin III promoter and injected to produce two founder lines of transgenic mice. YFP expression was observed in many regions of the developing peripheral and central nervous system. YFP expression was first observed in the peripheral and central nervous system as early as embryonic day 9.0. There was a dramatic increase in the number of neuronal systems expressing YFP through P0. Then as the animals reached adult age, the expression levels decreased, but many neurons still show YFP expression, notably in regions of the brain undergoing adult neurogenesis, i.e., the rostral migratory stream and subgranular layer of the dentate gyrus. This reporter-based staining was compared with anti-class-III beta-tubulin immunocytochemistry and shown to closely parallel the expression of the endogenous protein. These transgenic lines should provide unique models to study in vivo and in vitro neurodevelopment.
