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

The fate of neural stem cells (NSCs) is decided by numerous growth factors. Among these factors, the well-known angiogenic factor angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) has been revealed to participate in neurogenesis separate from its role in angiogenesis. However, the effect of Ang-2 on the fate determination of mouse embryonic NSCs and the underlying mechanism remain unclear. This result of this study indicated that treatment of mouse embryonic NSCs with 200 ng/ml Ang-2 significantly promoted neuronal differentiation without affecting glial differentiation, and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) was phosphorylated in a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt-dependent manner during this process. Rapamycin, a specific mTOR inhibitor, suppressed the increase in neuronal differentiation stimulated by Ang-2, and this suppression did not result from an effect of Ang-2 or rapamycin on the apoptosis of differentiated NSCs. Collectively, our research demonstrates that PI3K/Akt pathway-mediated mTOR phosphorylation plays an important role in the Ang-2-enhanced neuronal differentiation of mouse embryonic NSCs.
