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

Acrylamide (ACR) is a known industrial neurotoxic chemical that can induce neurodegeneration. Cytoskeletal protein aggregation is a pathological hallmark of neurodegenerative disorders. This study was an initial exploration on cytoskeletal proteins in plasma as potential biomarkers of ACR neurotoxicity. Low and high ACR groups received 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg ACR by intraperitoneal injection in adult Wistar rats and control group received physiological saline. Rats were all killed after 8 weeks to evaluate the levels of neurofilament(NF)-L, NF-M, NF-H, beta-actin, alpha-tubulin, beta-tubulin, tau, MAP2 proteins in plasma using both SDS-PAGE and western blotting. Compared with the control, the levels of NF-L, NF-M, NF-H, beta-actin, tau, MAP2 proteins decreased and the level of alpha-tubulin increased in high ACR group, the levels of alpha-tubulin, beta-tubulin and MAP2 increased in low ACR group. The results suggested that the changes of these proteins might be relevant to the neurotoxicity of ACR. Some of the cytoskeletal proteins in plasma might be used as marker of biological effect in ACR induced neuropathy.
