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

The mammalian brain undergoes rapid and extensive neurogenesis during the embryonic stage and limited neurogenesis during the adult stage, which results in ineffective repair of neural circuits in adults. Currently, the molecular mechanisms regulating the postnatal termination of neurogenesis and the disappearance of embryonic radial glia, the neural stem cells (NSCs) responsible for neurogenesis, are largely unknown. Here, we show that genetic deletion of PR domain-containing 16 (Prdm16) from NSCs leads to the retention of radial glia in adulthood and prolonged postnatal neuroblast production. Mechanistically, Prdm16 induces a postnatal reduction in Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (Vcam1). The extended presence of radial glia and neurogenesis phenotype is rescued in Prdm16-Vcam1 double knockout mice. These findings demonstrate that the inhibition of Vcam1 by Prdm16 promotes the postnatal cessation of neurogenesis and the disappearance of embryonic radial glia and provide valuable insights for regenerative medicine aimed at treating central nervous system disorders.
