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

Neurite outgrowth is an important morphological phenotype of neuronal cells that correlates with their function and cell health, yet there are limited methods available for measuring this phenomenon. Current approaches to measuring neurite outgrowth are laborious and time-consuming, relying largely upon immunocytochemical staining of neuronal markers (e.g., beta-III tubulin or MAP2) followed by manual or automated microscopy for image acquisition and analysis. Here we report the development of a quick and simple dual-color fluorescent dye-based staining method that allows for the simultaneous measurement of neuronal cell health and relative neurite outgrowth from the same sample. An orangered fluorescent dye that stains cell membrane surfaces is used as an indirect reporter of changes in relative neurite outgrowth due to alterations in the number or length of membrane projections emanating from neuronal cell bodies. Cell viability is assessed simultaneously via the use of a cell-permeant dye that is converted by intracellular esterase activity from a non-fluorescent substrate to a green-fluorescent product. Using Neuroscreen-1 cells (a PC-12 subclone), primary rat cortex neurons, and human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons, we demonstrate that this multiplex assay allows for rapid visualization and unbiased, quantitative plate reader analysis of neuronal cell health and neurite outgrowth.
