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

The T cell leukemia 3 (Tlx3) gene has been implicated in specification of glutamatergic sensory neurons in the spinal cord. In cranial sensory ganglia, Tlx3 is highly expressed in differentiating neurons during early embryogenesis. To study a role of Tlx3 during neural differentiation, mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells were transfected with a Tlx3 expression vector. ES cells stably expressing Tlx3 were grown in the presence or absence of a neural induction medium. In undifferentiated ES cells, there was no significant difference in gene expression in the presence or absence of Tlx3, even after ES cells were cultured for an extensive time period. In contrast, expression levels of Mash1, Ngn1, and NeuroD were significantly higher in Tlx3-expressing cells after neural induction for 4 days compared with those in cells expressing the control vector. At 7 days after neural induction, whereas expression of the proneural genes was down-regulated, VGLUT2, GluR2, and GluR4 were significantly increased in ES cell-derived neurons expressing Tlx3. The sequential and coordinated expression of the proneural and neuronal subtype-specific genes identifies Tlx3 as a selector gene in ES cells undergoing neural differentiation. In addition, the differential effects of Tlx3 overexpression in undifferentiated ES cells compared with ES cell-derived neurons suggest that Tlx3 exerts context-dependent transcriptional signals on its downstream target genes. The context-dependent function of Tlx3 as a selector gene may be used to establish a novel strategy to conditionally generate excitatory glutamatergic neurons from ES cells to cure various types of neurodegenerative disorders.
