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

The initial outgrowth of peripheral axons in developing embryos is thought to occur independently of neurotrophins. However, the degree to which peripheral neurons can extend axons and elaborate axonal arborizations in the absence of these molecules has not been studied directly because of exquisite survival requirements for neurotrophins at early developmental stages. We show here that embryonic sensory neurons from BAX-deficient mice survived indefinitely in the absence of neurotrophins, even in highly dissociated cultures, allowing assessment of cell autonomous axon outgrowth. At embryonic day 11 (E11)-E13, stages of rapid axon growth toward targets in vivo, Bax-/- sensory neurons cultured without neurotrophins were almost invariably unipolar and extended only a rudimentary axon. Addition of neurotrophins caused outgrowth of a second axon and a marked, dose-dependent elongation of both processes. Surprisingly, morphological responses to individual neurotrophins differed substantially. Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) supported striking terminal arborization of subsets of Bax-/- neurons, whereas NGF produced predominantly axon elongation in a different subset. We conclude that axon growth in vitro is neurotrophin dependent from the earliest stages of sensory neuron development. Furthermore, neurotrophins support the appearance of distinct axonal morphologies that characterize different sensory neuron subpopulations.
