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 present study was performed to establish an anatomical context for studies of phrenic motor function in mouse models of central nervous system trauma and disease. Application of cholera toxin β-subunit to the diaphragm of adult C57BL/6 mice revealed a columnar organization of phrenic motoneurons (PhMNs) which extended from rostral C3 to C6. Injection of Miniruby into the ventrolateral medulla revealed decussating, anterogradely labeled axons in the cervical spinal cord. In addition, application of the transneuronal tracer pseudorabies virus (PRV) to the right hemidiaphragm demonstrated a population of putative pre-phrenic interneurons at the level of the infected PhMN pool. These neuroanatomical features of the mouse phrenic nucleus are consistent with those described in other species and provide a foundation for studies of neuroplasticity and repair in relation to a functionally and anatomically identified spinal network.
