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

Sensory neurons generated from induced pluripotent stem cells (idSNs) are used to model human peripheral neuropathies; however, current differentiation protocols produce cells with an embryonic phenotype. Peripheral glia contact sensory neurons early in development and contribute to formation of the canonical pseudounipolar morphology, but these signals are not encompassed in current idSN differentiation protocols. Here, we show that terminal differentiation of idSNs in coculture with rat dorsal root ganglion (rDRG) satellite glia and glial precursors (rSG) advances differentiation and maturation. Cocultured idSNs develop pseudounipolar morphology through contact with rSG. In addition to morphological changes, idSNs terminally differentiated in coculture exhibit enhanced action potential firing, more mature gene expression, and increased susceptibility to paclitaxel-induced axonal degeneration. Thus, idSNs differentiated in coculture with rSG provide a better model for investigating human peripheral neuropathies.
