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

Glutamate and the NO donor, nitroprusside, synergistically induced the death of B50 cells from a rat CNS-derived neuroblastoma cell line. With low [nitroprusside] (10 microM) both nitroprusside and glutamate were required. Under these conditions, nuclei became pyknotic and caspases were activated. The activities of caspase-3 and caspase-6 (effector caspases) were higher than those of caspase-8 and caspase-9 (initiator caspases). The activation of all four caspases was inhibited by cyclosporin A, with the order of susceptibility caspase-8=caspase-9=caspase-6>caspase-3. To identify the possible locus of cyclosporin A action, we used an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide to suppress the level of cyclophilin-A to<5% of its control value. Cyclophilin-A suppression largely reproduced the inhibitory effects of cyclosporin A. These results provide the first indication that cyclophilin-A participates in the activation of the caspase cascade in neuronal cells, in particular in the form of cascade elicited by excitotoxic stimuli. It is concluded that neuroprotection by cyclosporin A against excitotoxin-induced apoptosis is, at least partly, due to inhibition of cyclophilin-A.
