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

Repulsive guidance molecule A (RGMa) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoprotein that exhibits repulsive neurite guidance and regulates neuronal differentiation and survival during brain development. However, the function of RGMa in the adult brain is unknown. Here, we show that RGMa is expressed in the adult hippocampus and provide evidence that RGMa signaling suppresses adult neurogenesis. Knockdown of RGMa in the dentate gyrus increased the number of surviving newborn neurons; however, these cells failed to properly migrate into the granular cell layer. In vitro, RGMa stimulation of adult neural stem cells suppressed neurite outgrowth of newborn neurons, which could be prevented by knockdown of the multifunctional receptor neogenin, as well as pharmacological inhibition of the downstream target Rho-associated protein kinase. These findings present a function for RGMa in the adult brain and add to the intricate molecular network that regulates adult brain plasticity.
