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

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a target-derived neurotrophic growth factor that controls many aspects of sensory and sympathetic neuronal development. The identification of transcription factors and downstream target genes that mediate NGF-dependent neuronal differentiation and target field innervation is currently a major challenge. Here, we show that the Pea3 transcription factor family members Etv4 and Etv5 are expressed by developing TrkA-positive dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons during the period of target innervation. Real-time PCR assays indicated that Etv4 and Etv5 mRNAs are significantly induced by NGF in different neuronal cells, suggesting that they could be involved in the biological responses induced by this neurotrophin. Interestingly, distal axon application of NGF in compartmentalized cultures of rat DRG sensory neurons was sufficient to induce a significant increase in Etv4 and Etv5 mRNA expression. Pharmacological assays also revealed that activation of MEK/ERK (MAPK) pathway is required for Etv4 and Etv5 gene induction in response to NGF. Downregulation of Etv4 and Etv5 using small interference RNA knockdown experiments inhibited NGF-induced neurite outgrowth of rat sensory neurons, while overexpression of full-length Etv4 or Etv5 potentiated neuronal differentiation in response to this neurotrophin. Together, these data establish Etv4 and Etv5 as essential molecules of the transcriptional program linking neurotrophin signaling to sensory neuronal differentiation, and suggest that they can be involved in NGF-mediated target innervation.
