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 African turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) is becoming a favorable model for neurobiological research. The combination of a short lifespan and a declining neuroregenerative capacity upon aging makes it ideally suited for research on brain aging and regeneration. A remarkable cellular diversity makes up the young-adult killifish telencephalon, characterized by highly proliferative non-glial progenitors and spatially distinct radial glia subtypes. In contrast to a relatively slow embryonic development, hatching is followed by a period of accelerated growth, in which the brain experiences a period of rapid expansion and maturation. In this study, we quantified the growth progression and maturation of the killifish telencephalon during early post-embryonic development. We discovered that, similar to in zebrafish, neuro-epithelial cells abut the neurogenic niches from early life onwards. Spatial data revealed qualitative and quantitative differences along the anterior-posterior axis and between pallial and subpallial regions in terms of growth pace. We confirmed generation of GABAergic neurons from the subpallial neurogenic niche and glutamatergic neurons from two pallial niches. Our data further showed a more widespread appearance of inhibitory neurons at hatching compared to in zebrafish.
