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

purposeStem cell transplantation is promising for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) treatment. This study aimed to use PET imaging for the investigation of dynamic metabolic changes after transplantation of human neural stem cells (NSCs) and human GABA progenitor cells (GPCs) in a rat model of TLE.

methods

resultsPET imaging demonstrated that glucose metabolism was gradually improved in the NSCs group, but decreased in GPCs and the control. Video-EEG manifested that seizures were suppressed after NSCs or GPCs transplantation; whole-cell patch-clamp confirmed increased inhibitory response of GPC-derived cells; immunostaining studies verified that the transplanted NSCs and GPCs could survive, migrate and differentiate into mature neuronal subtypes.
