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

Generation of patient-derived neurons provides an unprecedented approach in modeling neurological diseases. Here, we describe the direct conversion of adult fibroblasts into motor neurons via lentiviral delivery of transcription factors. Compared with iPSC-based approach, directly converted neurons from donors retain features associated with age, making them ideal systems for modeling age-related neurological diseases. Low yield is the major challenge of this protocol. High quality lentiviruses and optimized cell culture conditions are critical to improve the final yield. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Ding et al. (2020), Ding et al. (2021), and Liu et al. (2016).
