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

N-myc plays an important role in early cerebellar development; however, the role of N-myc in postnatal cerebellar development is still unknown. In this study, inducible and reversible N-myc mouse models (Nmyc(TRE/TRE):tTS and Nmyc(EGFP/TRE):tTS) are used to regulate and track the expression of endogenous N-myc in vivo. Loss of N-myc at the neonatal stage results in reduced proliferation of granule cell precursors (GCPs) and reduced cerebellar volume/mass. Restoration of N-myc expression no later than postnatal day 4 can rescue the cerebellar developmental defect caused by the absence of N-myc after birth. During cerebellar postnatal development, N-myc acts as a key switch, regulating the proliferation cycle of postnatal granule cell progenitors. Loss of N-myc significantly impairs the Sonic hedgehog signalling pathway, and disrupts the expression of cell cycle effectors with a significant reduction of Ccnd2. More importantly, N-myc negatively regulates the expression of microRNA-9 during postnatal cerebellar development. Our findings demonstrate that over-expression of miR-9 can inhibit the proliferation of GCPs. The regulation of these factors by N-myc is at least partly responsible for the switch role of N-myc in the proliferation cycle of GCPs.
