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

Overexpression of mouse neurogenin ( Neurog) 2 alone or in combination with mouse Neurog2/1 in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can rapidly produce high-yield excitatory neurons. Here, we report a detailed characterization of human neuronal networks induced by the expression of human NEUROG2 together with human NEUROG2/1 in hESCs using molecular, cellular, and electrophysiological measurements over 60 d after induction. Both excitatory synaptic transmission and network firing activity increased over time. Strikingly, inhibitory synaptic transmission and GABAergic cells were identified from NEUROG2/1 induced neurons (iNs). To illustrate the application of such iNs, we demonstrated that the heterozygous knock out of SCN2A, whose loss-of-function mutation is strongly implicated in autism risk, led to a dramatic reduction in network activity in the NEUROG2/1 iNs. Our findings not only extend our understanding of the NEUROG2/1-induced human neuronal network but also substantiate NEUROG2/1 iNs as an in vitro system for modeling neuronal and functional deficits on a human genetic background.-Lu, C., Shi, X., Allen, A., Baez-Nieto, D., Nikish, A., Sanjana, N. E., Pan, J. Q. Overexpression of NEUROG2 and NEUROG1 in human embryonic stem cells produces a network of excitatory and inhibitory neurons.
