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

Clinical trials are under way using fetal cells to repair damaged neuronal circuitry. However, little is known about how transplanted immature neurons can grow anatomically correct connections in the adult central nervous system (CNS). We transplanted embryonic porcine neural cells in vivo into adult rat brains with neuronal and axonal loss typical of Parkinson's or Huntington's disease. Using complementary species-specific cellular markers, we found donor axons and CD44+ astroglial fibres in host white matter tracts up to 8 mm from CNS transplant sites, although only donor axons were capable of reaching correct gray matter target regions. This work demonstrates that adult host brain can orient growth of transplanted neurons and that there are differences in transplant donor glial and axonal growth patterns in cellular repair of the mature CNS.
