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.
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
Neural cells derived from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have potential usefulness for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. Modulation of intrinsic growth factors expression such as neurotrophins and their respective receptors by these cells is necessary to obtain functional neural cells for transplantation. In present study, we compared neural differentiation potential of two different media, NB + 5%ES-FBS + N2B27 and Ko-DMEM + 5%ES-FBS for conversion of mESC derived neural progenitors (NPs) into mature neural cells with emphasis on effect of the these two media on neurotrophins and their respective receptors expression. Immunofluorescence staining, RT-qPCR and western blot analysis showed that the expression of neuronal specific markers, MAP2 and Tuj-1, in NB + 5%ES-FBS + N2B27 medium was significantly higher than the other medium. Western blot assay revealed that the expression of BDNF and NGF increased significantly in mature neural cells obtained from NB + 5%ES-FBS + N2B27 medium but decreased in neural cells from Ko-DMEM + 5%ES-FBS medium compared to mESCs. TrkB protein was not detectable in mESCs but its expression increased in neural cells obtained from both media although its expression in NB + 5%ES-FBS + N2B27 medium was significantly higher than the other medium. In contrast to TrkB, p75NTR protein was detectable in mESCs and is remained constant in neural cells cultured in NB + 5%ES-FBS + N2B27 medium but decreased significantly in the other medium. In conclusion, our results indicated that NB + 5%ES-FBS + N2B27 medium promoted neural differentiation process of mESCs and caused enhancement of neurotrophins protein expression in addition to their cognate receptors.
