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

Astrocytes play a more important role than simply providing physical support for neurons, however, the function(s) of type 1 and type 2 astrocytes (T1As, T2As), remains unclear. A DNA microarray was used to identify gene expression in cultured T1As and T2As isolated from postnatal day 1 rat cortex. Ninety-nine of the 138 differentially expressed genes were involved in a diverse number of processes. The fasciculation and elongation protein zeta-1 (FEZ1) gene was studied further because it has been suggested that it is not expressed by astrocytes. RT-PCR and Western blots confirmed the microarray data and showed that FEZ1 was present in T1 and T2As and is more highly expressed in T2As. Immunocytochemistry revealed that FEZ1 was located in the astrocytic cytoplasm and cell processes but not the nucleus. The results contribute to a clearer understanding of the two types of astrocytes.
