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

Oligodendrocytes derived in the laboratory from stem cells have been proposed as a treatment for acute and chronic injury to the central nervous system. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor alpha (PDGFRalpha) signaling is known to regulate oligodendrocyte precursor cell numbers both during development and adulthood. Here, we analyze the effects of PDGFRalpha signaling on central nervous system (CNS) stem cell-enriched cultures. We find that AC133 selection for CNS progenitors acutely isolated from the fetal cortex enriches for PDGF-AA-responsive cells. PDGF-AA treatment of fibroblast growth factor 2-expanded CNS stem cell-enriched cultures increases nestin(+) cell number, viability, proliferation, and glycolytic rate. We show that a brief exposure to PDGF-AA rapidly and efficiently permits the derivation of O4(+) oligodendrocyte-lineage cells from CNS stem cell-enriched cultures. The derivation of oligodendrocyte-lineage cells demonstrated here may support the effective use of stem cells in understanding fate choice mechanisms and the development of new therapies targeting this cell type.
