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

Genetically-modified animal models have significantly increased our understanding of the complex central nervous system circuits. Among these models, inducible transgenic mice whose specific gene expression can be modulated through a Cre recombinase/LoxP system are useful to study the role of specific peptides and proteins in a given population of cells. In the present study, we describe an efficient approach to selectively deliver a Cre-GFP to dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. First, mice of different ages were injected in both hindpaws with a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV2/9-CBA-Cre-GFP). Using this route of injection in mice at 5 days of age, we report that approximately 20% of all DRG neurons express GFP, 6 to 8 weeks after the infection. The level of infection was reduced by 50% when the virus was administered at 2 weeks of age. Additionally, the virus-mediated delivery of the Cre-GFP was also investigated via the intrathecal route. When injected intrathecally, the rAAV2/9-CBA-Cre-GFP virus infected a much higher proportion of DRG neurons than the intraplantar injection, with up to 51.6% of infected lumbar DRG neurons. Noteworthy, both routes of injection predominantly transduced DRG neurons over spinal and brain neurons.
