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

Mice lacking neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) have been shown previously to be born with severe sensory deficits. This study characterizes the developmental course of this deficit in the trigeminal sensory ganglion, which in NT-3 homozygous mutants contains only 35% of the normal number of neurons at birth. At embryonic day 10.5 (E10.5), normal numbers of neurons, as assessed by expression of neurofilament protein and of total cells, are present in the ganglia of mutant homozygotes. During the next 3 d (E10.5-E13.5), virtually all of the deficit develops, after which mutant animals retain only approximately 30% the normal number of neurons. Quantification of neuronal and neuronal precursor numbers in normal and mutant animals reveals that neurons are specifically depleted in the absence of NT-3. A deficiency in precursor proliferation is only seen after most of the neuronal deficit has developed. Numbers of apoptotic cells in the ganglia of mutant animals are elevated during this same interval, indicating that the neuronal deficit is caused, in large part, by increased cell death of embryonic neurons. To determine sources of NT-3 in the trigeminal system, we examined the expression pattern of beta-galactosidase in mice, in which lacZ has replaced the NT-3 coding exon. E10.5-E11.5 embryos exhibit intense reporter expression throughout the mesenchyme and epithelia of the first branchial arch. Beta-galactosidase expression in E13.5 embryos is largely confined to the oral epithelium and the mesenchyme underlying the skin. Throughout the E10.5-E13.5 interval, the trigeminal ganglion and its targets in the CNS do not express reporter activity. We conclude that NT-3 acts principally as a peripherally derived survival factor for early trigeminal neurons.
