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

Establishing stable coculture systems with neuronal and Schwann cell lines has been considered difficult, presumably because of their high proliferative activity and phenotypic differences from primary cultured cells. The present study is aimed at developing methods for myelin formation under coculture of the neural crest-derived pheochromocytoma cell line PC12 and the immortalized adult rat Schwann cell line IFRS1. Prior to coculture, PC12 cells were seeded at low density (3 × 10(2)/cm(2)) and maintained in serum-free medium with N2 supplement, ascorbic acid (50 μg/ml), and nerve growth factor (NGF) (50 ng/ml) for a week. Exposure to such a NGF-rich environment with minimum nutrients accelerated differentiation and neurite extension, but not proliferation, of PC12 cells. When IFRS1 cells were added to NGF-primed PC12 cells, the cell density ratio of PC12 cells to IFRS1 cells was adjusted from 1:50 to 1:100. The cocultured cells were then maintained in serum-free medium with B27 supplement, ascorbic acid (50 μg/ml), NGF (10 ng/ml), and recombinant soluble neuregulin-1 type III (25 ng/ml). Myelin formation was illustrated by light and electron microscopy performed at day 28 of coculture. The stable PC12-IFRS1 coculture system is free of technical and ethical problems arising from the primary culture and can be a valuable tool to study peripheral nerve degeneration and regeneration.
