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

Monoamine oxidases (MAO) catalyze the oxidative deamination of many biogenic amines and are integral proteins found in the mitochondrial outer membrane. Changes in MAO-A levels are associated with depression, trait aggression, and addiction. Here we report the synthesis, characterization, and in vitro evaluation of novel fluorescent peptide-peptide nucleic acid (PNA) chimeras for MAOA mRNA imaging in live neuronal cells. The probes were designed to include MAOA-specific PNA dodecamers, separated by an N-terminal spacer to a μ-opioid receptor targeting peptide (DAMGO), with a spacer and a fluorophore on the C-terminus. The probe was successfully delivered into human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells through μ-opioid receptor-mediated endocytosis. The K(d) by flow cytometry was 11.6 ± 0.8 nM. Uptake studies by fluorescence microscopy showed ∼5-fold higher signal in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells than in negative control CHO-K1 cells that lack μ-opioid receptors. Moreover, a peptide-mismatch control sequence showed no significant uptake in SH-SY5Y cells. Such mRNA imaging agents with near-infrared fluorophores might enable real time imaging and quantitation of neuronal mRNAs in live animal models.
