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

Primary neuronal cultures have proven to be a powerful tool for studying mechanisms in neuroscience. It is technically challenging and expensive to reproduce high quality viable neuronal cultures. Laboratories that are not experienced or equipped to prepare primary neuron cultures may have difficulty producing consistent cultures for experiments. It has previously been shown that live rat embryonic hippocampal cultures can be shipped from laboratories that produce them. Here, we show that variations to this procedure allow for shipping postnatal mouse cultures of hippocampal and cortical primary neurons using standard commercial couriers. We also show that after shipping, primary neurons are viable, express synaptic markers, and demonstrate physiological activity, making them relevant models over immortalized cell lines. Among the many applications of this technique would be the preparation of cultured neurons from transgenic mouse lines in one laboratory and sharing them with distant collaborators, reducing variability.
