High-Speed Video Microscopy of Ependymal Cilia in Brain Organotypic and Cell Culture Models.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The wall of the ventricular system within the neuraxis is lined almost entirely by E1 ependymal cells, each of which projects multiple motile cilia from their apical surface into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This specialized layer of E1 cells constitutes the border between the CSF and the brain interstitial fluid (BIF), and by controlling influx and efflux across the CSF to BIF interface, it is increasingly recognized to play an integral role in modulating and maintaining the brain microenvironment. The motile cilia have been shown to be responsive to changes in the CSF microenvironment, and while the physiological role of this mechanism remains incompletely understood, manipulating this control mechanism may influence the brain microenvironment potentially opening a new frontier in therapeutic intervention.In this paper, we describe our techniques for preparing organotypic slices from the murine brain parenchyma and establishing cell cultures of multiciliated ependymal cells from mouse and rat neonatal brain tissue. Our methodology generates a functional readout of ciliary function, specifically high-speed video microscopy (HSVM) enables the quantification of ciliary beat frequency (CBF), and characterization of ciliary beat pattern.
