Down-regulation of APLP1 mRNA expression in hippocampus of pilocarpine-induced epileptic rats.
Article in Neuroscience bulletin, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectiveTo investigate the expression of amyloid beta precursor-like protein 1(APLP1) gene on the transcription level in hippocampus of pilocarpine-induced epileptic rats.
methodsEpileptic rats were developed by LiC1 (3 mmol/kg, i.p.) approximately 20 h prior to pilocarpine (30 mg/kg, i.p.) administration. The 3' end partial sequence of rat APLP1 gene was cloned, and the expression levels of APLP1 mRNA in hippocampus of epileptic rats at 6 h, 30 h, 7 d and 15 d were determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.
resultsThe 3'end partial sequence of rat APLP1 gene shared a 97% homology with that of mice, and 90% with that of human. The APLP1 amino acid sequence of rat was identical with that of mouse, but was different from that of human in 3 residues. Moreover, pilocarpine induced a significant down-regulation of APLP1 mRNA expression at 6 h after epilepsy initiation (P< 0.05), and at 30 h, this down-regulation became more dramatic (P< 0.01), which lasted till day 15 (P< 0.01).
conclusionThe 3' end of APLP1 gene is highly conserved, and APLP1 mRNA expression is kept at low level in hippocampus of pilocarpine-induced epileptic rats.
