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

Nervous system development relies on sequential and coordinated formation of diverse neurons and glia from neural progenitor cells (NPCs). In the spinal cord, NPCs of the pMN domain produce neurons early in development followed by oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), which subsequently differentiate as oligodendrocytes (OLs), the myelinating glia of the central nervous system, later in development. The mechanisms that specify neural progenitor cells to the OL lineage are not yet well understood. Using zebrafish as an experimental model system, we generated single-cell RNA sequencing and single-nuclei ATAC sequencing data that identified a subpopulation of NPCs, called pre-OPCs, that appeared fated to produce OPCs. pre-OPCs uniquely express several genes that encode transcription factors specific to the OL lineage, including Gsx2, which regulates OPC formation in the mouse forebrain. To investigate Gsx2 function in zebrafish OPC specification, we used CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to create
