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

Fetal striatal grafts are found to have a modular organization revealed by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) histochemistry. The AChE-rich zones represent the only portions of these grafts that are anatomically and functionally integrated into the host brain. In this study, the medial and lateral ganglionic eminences (MGEs and LGEs) were selectively dissected from the basal telencephalon of embryonic-day-14 (E14) rat fetuses to compare their relative contributions to the AChE-rich fraction of intrastriatal grafts. Separate cell suspensions prepared from either eminence were stereotaxically implanted into excitotoxically lesioned neostriatum of adult rats. Eight weeks after transplantation, grafts of the MGE were compared with those of the LGE with respect to the proportion of AChE-rich zones, graft size, graft morphology, and afferent dopaminergic innervation as revealed by tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunostaining. The mean AChE-rich fraction in LGE grafts (87% +/- 4%) was markedly greater than the AChE-rich fraction in MGE grafts (25% +/- 10%). The LGE grafts were also morphologically better incorporated into the lesioned host striatum, partially reconstituting the striatal morphology. There was no statistically significant difference in graft size between the two groups. The AChE-rich LGE grafts were TH immunoreactive, whereas the AChE-poor MGE grafts were not. We conclude that grafts derived exclusively from the fetal LGE reconstitute the striatal morphology and consist almost entirely of AChE-rich zones.
