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

Primary neurons undergo insult-dependent programmed cell death. We examined autophagy as a process contributing to cell death in cortical neurons after treatment with either hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) or staurosporine. Although caspase-9 activation and cleavage of procaspase-3 were significant following staurosporine treatment, neither was observed following H(2)O(2) treatment, indicating a non-apoptotic death. Autophagic activity increased rapidly with H(2)O(2), but slowly with staurosporine, as quantified by processing of endogenous LC3. Autophagic induction by both stressors increased the abundance of fluorescent puncta formed by GFP-LC3, which could be blocked by 3-methyladenine. Significantly, such inhibition of autophagy blocked cell death induced by H(2)O(2) but not staurosporine. Suppression of Atg7 inhibited cell death by H(2)O(2), but not staurosporine, whereas suppression of Beclin 1 prevented cell death by both treatments, suggesting it has a complex role regulating both apoptosis and autophagy. We conclude that autophagic mechanisms are activated in an insult-dependent manner and that H(2)O(2) induces autophagic cell death.
