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

One of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), which are composed of abnormally hyperphosphorylated tau, but the mechanism of tau hyperphosphorylation in AD is still unclear. To investigate the effects of estrogens on tau phosphorylation, SH-SY5Y cells were treated with okadaic acid (OA), a serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor, to induce tau phosphorylation and the effects of estrogen were observed by co-treatment with 17beta-estradiol (E2). We found that OA induced in vitro tau hyperphosphorylation, which was prevented by E2 in a dose-dependent manner. This effect of E2 was partially blocked by an estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist, ICI 182,780. In addition to tau hyperphosphorylation, inhibition of serine/threonine phosphorylation induced upregulation of cdk5 levels, which was attenuated by E2 in a manner that was counteracted by ICI 182,780. Our results show that cdk5 is involved in OA-induced tau hyperphosphorylation, and estrogens ameliorate the tau hyperphosphorylation, which may be mediated in part by ER.
