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

S100beta is a soluble calcium binding protein released by glial cells. It has been reported as a neurotrophic factor that promotes neurite maturation and outgrowth during development. This protein also plays a role in axonal stability and in long term potentiation in the adult brain. The ability of S100beta to modulate neuronal morphology raises the important question whether there is an age-related difference in the expression of S100beta in the cerebral and cerebellar cortices of AKR strain mice and is this change is region specific. Our RT-PCR and Western blotting experiments show that the expression of S100beta gene in the cerebral and cerebellar cortices starts from 0 day, peaks at about 45 days. However, in 70-week old mice its expression is significantly up-regulated as compared to that of 20-week old mice. S100beta follows the same age-related pattern in both cerebral and cerebellar cortices. These results suggest that S100beta is important for brain development and establishment of proper brain functions. Up-regulation of S100beta in old age may have some role in development of age-related pathological systems in the brain.
