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

In the developing central nervous system, transcription factors play a crucial role in the regulation of cell fate. Previously we demonstrated that LHX2 is a critical regulator of the neuron-glia cell fate switch in the developing mouse hippocampus. Here, we test LHX2 target gene Pax6 for a role in this process. We report that Pax6 overexpression is able to suppress the enhanced astrogliogenesis arising due to loss of functional LHX2. Furthermore, we show that like Lhx2, Pax6 is also able to suppress induced astrogliogenesis caused by overexpression of progliogenic factor Nfia. This demonstrates that overexpression of Pax6 can substitute for Lhx2 in the regulation of the neuronal versus glial cell fate in the developing hippocampus, and therefore, supports a role for PAX6 as a mediator of LHX2 function in this process.
