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

Postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) is one of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)-anchoring proteins and plays an important role in specifying the sites of reaction of nitric oxide (NO) in the nervous system. The present study aims to investigate the presence of PSD-95 in rat Schwann cells (SCs) and the association of PSD-95 and nNOS with serum-induced SCs proliferation. The expression of both molecules downregulated significantly after 48 h of serum deprivation, and increased gradually to the peak at 12 h, ultimately returned to the control level at 48 h after serum stimulation. The association of PSD-95 with nNOS was observed in Ki67 and BrdU-positive SCs. The selective nNOS inhibitor arrested the cell cycle progress and decreased the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) levels. These findings suggested that PSD-95 and nNOS may collectively participate in the proliferation of SCs, providing further evidence for the role of NO during peripheral nerve regeneration.
