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

1.S100B is a calcium-binding protein expressed and secreted by astrocytes, which has been implicated in glial-neuronal communication. Extracellular S100B appears to protect hippocampal neurons against toxic concentrations of glutamate. Here we investigated a possible autocrine role of S100B in glutamate uptake activity. 2. Astrocyte cultures were prepared of hippocampi from neonate Wistar rats. [(3)H] Glutamate uptake was measured after addition of S100B protein, antibody anti-S100B or TRTK-12, a peptide that blocks S100B activity mediated by the C-terminal region. 3.Antibody anti-S100B addition decreased glutamate uptake measured 30 min after medium replacement, without affecting cell integrity or viability. Moreover, low levels of S100B (less than 0.1 ng/mL) stimulated glutamate uptake measured immediately after medium replacement. 4. This finding reinforces the importance of astrocytes in the glutamatergic transmission, particularly the role of S100B neuroprotection against excitotoxic damage.
