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

We describe a cell culture system for assaying proneural activities of genes hypothesized to play instrumental roles in neuronal fate specification during vertebrate retinal development. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is collected from embryonic day 6 (E6) chick to establish a primary RPE cell culture. The culture is then infected with a replication competent retrovirus RCAS expressing the gene of interest. The presence of retinal neurons in the otherwise nonneural, RPE cell culture is examined between 4 and 10 days after the administration of the virus. Taking advantage of the plasticity and the relative simplicity of RPE cells, this method offers an informative assay for proneural activities prior to planning for large-scale in vivo experiments.
