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

During the development of the cerebral cortex, excitatory neurons are produced in the ventricular zone lining the lateral ventricle or in the adjacent subventricular zone and migrate toward the brain surface in a process known as radial migration. During radial migration, neurons undergo multiple steps including a multipolar cell phase, a multipolar-bipolar transition, and a locomotion phase. Many genes tightly regulate the cell behavior in each phase. We have established an in utero electroporation method as a rapid in vivo gene transfer system, and this system has greatly contributed to recent advances in our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying each migration phase. Here, we review the cell behaviors of neurons during each phase of radial migration and the molecular mechanisms involved in these phases. Knockdown or functional blocking of these genes using in utero electroporation results in various migration defects and abnormal cell morphologies. Here, we describe these phenotypes as much as possible so that this review can be used as a chart to evaluate the phenotypes of novel gene knockdown experiments. We also discuss the recent application of in utero electroporation in studies examining the functions of neurodevelopmental disorder-related genes.
