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

Polypyrimidine Tract Binding protein 1 (PTB) is an alternative splicing factor linked to neuronal induction and maturation. Previously, knockdown experiments supported a model in which PTB can function as a potent reprogramming factor, able to elicit direct glia-to-neuron conversion in vivo, in both the brain and retina. However, later lineage tracing and genetic knockouts of PTB did not support direct neuronal reprogramming. Nevertheless, consistent with the PTB depletion experiments, we show that antisense knockdown of PTB (ptbp1a) in the zebrafish retina can activate Müller glia-derived proliferation and that depletion of PTB can further enhance proliferation when combined with acute NMDA damage. The effects of PTB are consistent with a role in controlling key senescence and pro-inflammatory genes that are part of the senescence secretome that initiates retina regeneration.
