Expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor is regulated by the Wnt signaling pathway.
Article in Neuroreport, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 57 papers.
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.
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
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a well characterized neurotrophin that mediates a wide variety of activities in the central nervous system, including neuronal differentiation, neuroprotection, and synaptic plasticity. The canonical Wnt signaling pathway is a critical regulator of embryonic development and homeostasis in adult tissues. Our group and others recently demonstrated that Wnt signaling induces BDNF expression in neurons and glia. However, the precise relationship between BDNF and Wnt signaling pathways is not understood. Here, we investigated Wnt signaling regulation of BDNF at the transcriptional level using a combination of bioinformatics and molecular analyses. Analysis of the BDNF gene promoter identified seven binding motifs for Wnt-dependent TCF/LEF transcription factors. Furthermore, specific BDNF promoters were induced by the Wnt3a ligand using chloramphenicol acetyl transferase reporter assays and a dominant-negative TCF4 gene reduced Wnt3a-mediated induction. Finally, Wnt3a induced expression of BDNF and other members of the BDNF signaling pathway in glia cells. Therefore, these data indicate that BDNF is a direct target of Wnt signaling, which provides a new insight into the interaction between two essential signaling pathways.
