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

Conventional understanding dictates that mammalian neural stem cells (NSCs) exist only in the central nervous system. Here, we report that peripheral NSCs (pNSCs) exist outside the central nervous system and can be isolated from mouse embryonic limb, postnatal lung, tail, dorsal root ganglia and adult lung tissues. Derived pNSCs are distinct from neural crest stem cells, express multiple NSC-specific markers and exhibit cell morphology, self-renewing and differentiation capacity, genome-wide transcriptional profile and epigenetic features similar to control brain NSCs. pNSCs are composed of Sox1
