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 thyroid hormone responsive protein (THRP) is a novel gene product that remains responsive to thyroid hormone (TH) in the cerebral cortex of adult rats. To study the effects of THRP on neuronal cell survival, primary neurons cultured from rats at embryonic day 19 were treated with either 10(-7) mol L(-1) 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T(3)), or 10(-7) mol L(-1) L: -thyroxine (T(4)). This resulted in decreasing neuronal cell number starting 48 h after treatment. T(3) -related cytotoxicity was also documented by measurement of lactate dehydrogenase release into the medium and by propidium iodide staining. Treatment of cells with 10(-7) mol L(-1) T(3) resulted in a significant increase in THRP mRNA levels as early as 24 h of treatment in a concentration-dependent manner. T(3) treatment did not alter glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) mRNA levels. Exogenous expression of THRP by transfecting cells with a THRP expression construct (pSVL-THRP) was associated with a significant increase in cell death as measured by the increased number of propidium iodide staining cells (18.0+/-2.1 cells per field) compared with mock-transfected cells (3.3+/-0.2), P<0.002. To further document THRP-induced cytotoxicity, the cells were either transfected with pSVL (empty vector)+pSV2neo (neomycin resistance vector for cell labeling), pSVL-THRP+pSV2neo, or pSVL-THRP+pc-Abl (cAbl tyrosine kinase expressing vector)+pSV2neo. After 24 h the cells were treated with 500 microg mL(-1) G418 (a congener of neomycin) to eliminate the non-transfected cells. Transfection with pSVL-THRP reduced neuronal survival relative to cells transfected with pSVL (356+/-15.6 compared with 145+/-16.9, P<0.05). Co-transfection of THRP with wild-type c-Abl did not alter the effect of THRP on cell survival. It is concluded that THRP is an important factor in TH-induced neuronal cell death.
