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

Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), are increased in serum and CSF in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We investigated the effect of TNF-α on gene and protein expression levels of Aβ degrading enzymes (ACE, ECE-1, ECE- 2, IDE and NEP) in vitro. Differentiated (DC) and non-differentiated (NDC) neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) were exposed to TNF-α for 15 minutes and 3 hours and protein and gene expression levels measured using western blotting or sandwich ELISA (ECE-2), and real time-PCR (RT-PCR). Only ECE-2 protein levels decreased significantly in NDCs in a dose-dependent manner after 15 minutes of TNF-α exposure but reverted to basal levels after 3 hours. Basal NEP gene expression levels were higher in control DCs compared to NDCs but TNF-α treatment did not significantly alter the levels of expression of any of the Aβ degrading enzymes. In conclusion, apart from a transient reduction in ECE-2 protein levels, TNF-α had no impact in our in vitro experimental system on transcription or translation of any of our selected mediators of Aβ degradation.
