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

Cells of the oligodendrocyte lineage, which form the myelinating glia of the vertebrate central nervous system, undergo a stepwise developmental progression entailing specification from neuroepithelial precursors, proliferation, migration to expand and distribute the population, and differentiation to ensheath axons with myelin. Understanding the genetic mechanisms that regulate each of these steps during development is important, because this might lead to therapies to promote remyelination following neural injury or disease. Genetic studies in mice indicated that the Sox10 transcription factor is required during the differentiation stage to promote myelin gene expression. However, whether Sox10 also promotes other features of oligodendroctye differentiation remained unknown. In this study, we used time-lapse imaging to investigate the behavior and fates of oligodendrocyte lineage cells in zebrafish embryos and larvae that lacked Sox10 function. This revealed that the myelinating subset of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) migrates, divides, and wraps axons normally, but then dies. Nonmyelinating oligodendrocyte progenitors divided more frequently, maintaining a normal population size. New oligodendrocytes produced by these progenitors wrapped axons and survived, but did not express myelin genes at high levels. We conclude that, in addition to promoting myelin gene expression, Sox10 function is necessary for the survival of myelinating oligodedrocytes subsequent to axon wrapping but is not required for the survival of nonmyelinating OPCs.
