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

Peripheral nerve function depends on a regulated process of axon and Schwann cell development. Schwann cells interact with peripheral neurons to sort and ensheath individual axons. Ablation of laminin γ1 in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) arrests Schwann cell development prior to radial sorting of axons. Peripheral nerves of laminin-deficient animals are disorganized and hypomyelinated. In this study, sciatic nerves of laminin-deficient mice were treated with syngenic murine adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). ADSCs expressed laminin in vitro and in vivo following transplant into mutant sciatic nerves. ADSC-treatment of mutant nerves caused endogenous Schwann cells to differentiate past the point of developmental arrest to sort and myelinate axons. This was shown by (1) functional, (2) ultrastructural, and (3) immunohistochemical analysis. Treatment of laminin-deficient nerves with either soluble laminin or the immortalized laminin-expressing cell line 3T3/L1 did not overcome endogenous Schwann cell developmental arrest. In summary, these results indicate that (1) laminin-deficient Schwann cells can be rescued, (2) a cell-based approach is beneficial in comparison with soluble protein treatment, and (3) mesenchymal stem cells modify sciatic nerve function via trophic effects rather than transdifferentiation in this system.
