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

Malformations of the sympathetic nervous system have been associated with cardiovascular instability, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and neuroblastoma. A better understanding of the factors regulating sympathetic nervous system development is critical to the development of potential therapies. Here, we have uncovered a temporal requirement for the LIM homeodomain transcription factor ISL1 during sympathetic nervous system development by the analysis of two mutant mouse lines: an Isl1 hypomorphic line and mice with Isl1 ablated in neural crest lineages. During early development, ISL1 is required for sympathetic neuronal fate determination, differentiation, and repression of glial differentiation, although it is dispensable for initial noradrenergic differentiation. ISL1 also plays an essential role in sympathetic neuron proliferation by controlling cell cycle gene expression. During later development, ISL1 is required for axon growth and sympathetic neuron diversification by maintaining noradrenergic differentiation, but repressing cholinergic differentiation. RNA-seq analyses of sympathetic ganglia from Isl1 mutant and control embryos, together with ISL1 ChIP-seq analysis on sympathetic ganglia, demonstrated that ISL1 regulates directly or indirectly several distinct signaling pathways that orchestrate sympathetic neurogenesis. A number of genes implicated in neuroblastoma pathogenesis are direct downstream targets of ISL1. Our study revealed a temporal requirement for ISL1 in multiple aspects of sympathetic neuron development, and suggested Isl1 as a candidate gene for neuroblastoma.
