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

We used a combined proteomic and functional biochemical approach to determine the overall impact of 17beta-estradiol (E2) on mitochondrial protein expression and function. To elucidate mitochondrial pathways activated by E2 in brain, two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis was conducted to screen the mitoproteome. Ovariectomized adult female rats were treated with a single injection of E2. After 24 h of E2 exposure, mitochondria were purified from brain and 2D analysis and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry protein identification were conducted. Results of proteomic analyses indicated that of the 499 protein spots detected by image analysis, a total of 66 protein spots had a twofold or greater change in expression. Of these, 28 proteins were increased in expression after E2 treatment whereas 38 proteins were decreased in expression relative to control. E2 regulated key metabolic enzymes including pyruvate dehydrogenase, aconitase, and ATP-synthase. To confirm that E2-inducible changes in protein expression translated into functional consequences, we determined the impact of E2 on the enzymatic activity of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. In vivo, E2 treatment enhanced brain mitochondrial efficiency as evidenced by increased respiratory control ratio, elevated cytochrome-c oxidase activity and expression while simultaneously reducing free radical generation in brain. Results of these analyses provide insights into E2 mechanisms of regulating brain mitochondria, which have the potential for sustaining neurological health and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction such as Alzheimer's disease.
