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

Application of viral vector technology for neural tracing enabled the visualization of neural pathways in a manner that had been impossible by classic techniques. The development of highly efficient retrograde vector played a pivotal role in its success. This chapter explains the strategy, protocol, and the expected results for visualization of selective neural pathways by double viral vector infection method. This method utilizes the combination of lentiviral vector showing retrograde gene transfer and adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector to split the TET-Off/TET-On system to these vectors. By co-injection of these vectors at the target and the origins of the pathway, it is possible to label a specific population of neurons that connect the two injection sites. The enhancement of transgene expression by TET system results in Golgi-like visualization of the cells from their dendrites to axon terminals. Using this technique, the corticothalamic cells are specifically labeled in their entirety including their collateral axons.
