A Role of Microtubules in Oligodendrocyte Differentiation.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Oligodendrocytes are specialized cells that myelinate axons in the central nervous system. Defects in oligodendrocyte function and failure to form or maintain myelin sheaths can cause a number of neurological disorders. Oligodendrocytes are differentiated from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), which extend several processes that contact, elaborate, and eventually wrap axonal segments to form multilayered myelin sheaths. These processes require extensive changes in the cytoarchitecture and must be regulated by reorganization of the cytoskeleton. Here, we established a simple protocol to isolate and differentiate mouse OPCs, and by using this method, we investigated a role of microtubules (MTs) in oligodendrocyte differentiation. Oligodendrocytes developed a complex network of MTs during differentiation, and treatment of differentiating oligodendrocytes with nanomolar concentrations of MT-targeting agents (MTAs) markedly affected oligodendrocyte survival and differentiation. We found that acute exposure to vincristine and nocodazole at early stages of oligodendrocyte differentiation markedly increased MT arborization and enhanced differentiation, whereas taxol and epothilone B treatment produced opposing outcomes. Furthermore, treatment of myelinating co-cultures of oligodendrocytes and neurons with nanomolar concentrations of MTAs at late stages of oligodendrocyte differentiation induced dysmyelination. Together, these results suggest that MTs play an important role in the survival, differentiation, and myelination of oligodendrocytes.
