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

A key role of mitotic activation in neuronal cell death in early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been suggested. Apparently, terminally differentiated neurons are precluded from mitotic division, yet some phenotypic markers of cell cycling are present in AD-vulnerable brain areas. In this paper, we investigated whether dividing human neuroblastoma cells are preferentially vulnerable to amyloid aggregate toxicity in some specific cell cycle stage(s). Our data indicate that Abeta1-40/42 aggregates added to the cell culture media bind to the plasma membrane and are internalized faster in the S than in the G2/M and G1 cells possibly as a result of a lower content in membrane cholesterol in the former. Earlier and sharper increases in reactive oxygen species production triggered a membrane oxidative injury and a significant impairment of antioxidant capacity, eventually culminating with apoptotic activation in S and, to a lesser extent, in G2/M exposed cells. G1 cells appeared more resistant to the amyloid-induced oxidative attack possibly because of their higher antioxidant capacity. The high vulnerability of S cells to aggregate toxicity extends previous data suggesting that neuronal loss in AD could result from mitotic reactivation of terminally differentiated neurons with arrest in the S phase.
