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 central nervous system (CNS) acquires its vasculature by angiogenesis, a process consisting of proliferation of endothelial cells in existing blood vessels or vascular plexuses and leading to formation of new blood vessels. Angiogenesis begins early in CNS development and continues throughout life. Prevailing notions depict CNS angiogenesis as a passive process driven primarily by demands for oxygen and other nutrients by the growing neuronal populations. Thus, although the CNS vasculature develops concomitant with neuronal identities, which emerge under the influence of compartment-specific cell autonomous factors, cell autonomous patterning signals are not considered to instruct vascular development. We have challenged this prevailing notion by showing that angiogenesis in the mouse telencephalon progresses in an orderly, ventral-to-dorsal gradient regulated in a cell-autonomous manner by compartment-specific homeobox transcription factors. These are the same transcription factors that confer compartmental identities on telencephalic neurons and progenitor populations. Thus, the same cell-autonomous, regional patterning signals that regulate development of telencephalic neuronal networks also regulate development of telencephalic vascular networks, underscoring shared mechanisms in CNS vascular and neuronal development. These novel concepts represent a new twist in the intriguing tale of CNS angiogenesis and offer new perspectives on telencephalic regionalization and histogenesis principles.
