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

objectiveThe functional roles of protein kinase C (PKC) in the neurite outgrowth and nerve regeneration remain controversial. The present study was aimed to investigate the role of PKC in neurite outgrowth, by studying their regulatory effects on neurite elongation in spinal cord neurons in vitro.

methodsThe anterior-horn neurons of spinal cord from embryonic day 14 (E14) Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were dissociated, purified and cultured in the serum-containing medium. The ratio of membrane-PKC (mPKC) activity to cytoplasm-PKC (cPKC) activity (m/c-PKC) was studied at different time points during culture.

resultsBetween 3-11 d of culture, the change of m/c-PKC activity ratio and PKC-betaII expression in the neurite were both significantly correlated with neurite outgrowth (r=0.95, P< 0.01; r=0.73, P< 0.01, respectively). Moreover, PMA, an activator of PKC, induced a dramatic elevation in the m/c-PKC activity ratio, accompanied with the increase in neurite length (r=0.99, P< 0.01). In contrast, GF 109203X, an inhibitor of PKC, significantly inhibited neurite elongation, which could not be reversed by PMA.

conclusionPKC activity may be important in regulating neurite outgrowth in spinal cord neurons, and betaII isoform of PKC probably plays a major role in this process.
