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

An increasing number of studies have shown a critical role for the membrane attack complex, synthesized on activation of the terminal pathway of the complement system, in causing demyelination and neuronal death in neurodegeneration. The aim of this study was to develop a strategy to increase the resistance of neurons to complement damage by modulating the expression of membrane complement regulatory protein CD59, the only inhibitor of the terminal pathway of the complement cascade. We exploited our recent finding that CD59 expression is regulated by the neural-restrictive silencer factor (REST) and designed a novel REST-derived peptide (REST5) containing the nuclear localization domain of the wild-type protein. The effect of REST5 and the mechanism by which it modulates CD59 expression were modelled in neuroblastoma cells transfected with expression constructs, and then confirmed in human neurons differentiated from neural progenitor cells. REST5 increased the expression of CD59 in neurons by fivefold and protected them from complement-mediated lysis spontaneously triggered by neurons. As a source of complement, we used either human serum or conditioned medium from primary human oligodendroglia. This study brings new insight into immunopharmacological research that may serve to inhibit neuronal death triggered by the terminal pathway of complement activation.
