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

STUDY

designExperimental study, protocol optimization.

objectivesTo investigate and compare the isolation of spinal motor neurons from embryonic rats at different embryonic stages, and develop optimized methods for rapidly dissecting spinal cords and harvesting spinal motor neurons with high survival and purity.

settingGuangdong Provincial Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Guangzhou, China.

methodsEmbryonic rats at different embryonic stages (12-18 days) were used to isolate spinal motor neurons. Their shape and corresponding dissection procedures, time needed and skills were compared. After dissecting and dissociating spinal cords, cells were randomly divided into immunopanning group and control group, in which antibodies to p75

resultsWe summarized the operation essentials for rapid isolation of spinal cords, as well as compared anatomical features and dissection procedures of embryos at different embryonic stages, which help us to better evaluate the developmental profile and isolate cells by adopting corresponding skills. Through the fast isolation procedure and optimized culture media, cells grow in good viability. Moreover, compared with control group, the purity of spinal motor neurons in the immunopanning group was significantly increased, reaching a proportion of over 95%.
