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

Calcineurin (CN) is a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase expressed at high levels in brain. Many findings have shown that calcineurin plays an important role in tau hyperphosphorylation, which is one of the neuropathologic features in the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Based on the molecular screening model using p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP) as a substrate for preliminary screening and (32)P-labeled 19-residue phosphopeptide as a specific substrate for final determination, we found that the total ginsenoside extracts from stems and leaves of Panax ginseng (GSL) could enhance the phosphatase activity of purified CN. In the human neuroblastoma cells SY5Y, inhibition of CN by cyclosporine A (CsA) could induce hyperphosphorylation of tau at multiple sites, accompanied with oxidative stress. Pretreatment of the cells with GSL prior to CsA exposure could alleviate CsA-induced CN inhibition and tau hyperphosphorylation to some degree. Further oxidative parameters demonstrated that GSL caused increased SOD activity and content of SH significantly. It is speculated that GSL weakens CsA-induced CN inhibition through the antioxidant mechanisms. Although our results indicate that GSL may have neuroprotective effects on some characteristic features of AD, the chemical compositions of GSL and their potential for affecting the disease mechanism need to be further studied.
