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

Postnatal neocortical development is a complex period wherein radial glial progenitors (RGPs) complete excitatory neurogenesis and transition to the production of glia. Here, we take advantage of a multi-layered lineage tracing tool pbacBarcode, to examine the contributions of individual cortical RGPs to the postnatal cortex. We reveal that some individual cortical RGPs are multipotent and give rise to olfactory bulb interneurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes in a ∼2:1:1 ratio. We provide evidence that differentiation potential into terminal cell types is maintained as late as post-natal day (P)4, suggesting that a population decline model, as opposed to cell fate restriction, underlies postnatal neocortical development. Moreover, a pool of proliferative intermediary cells, which may represent a multipotent postnatal intermediate progenitor cell population, may contribute to the production of the three major cell types. Lastly, we examine RGP postnatal contribution to oligodendrocytes and show that oligodendrocyte progenitor founder cell production by cortical RGPs is largely complete by P3.
