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

background and purposeD-Serine, the endogenous co-agonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, has been recognized as an important gliotransmitter in the mammalian brain. D-serine has been shown to prevent psychostimulant-induced decrease in hippocampal neurogenesis. However, the mechanism whereby D-serine regulates neurogenesis has not been fully characterized. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the impacts of D-serine on the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of primary cultured neural stem cells (NSCs). METHODS AND

resultsImmunohistochemistry analysis revealed NSCs expressed D-serine as well as serine racemase (SR). Degradation of endogenous D-serine with D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) significantly inhibited the proliferation and neuronal differentiation of NSCs, but failed to affect their radial migration. Reversely, addition of exogenous D-serine did not affect the proliferation and migration of NSCs, but promoted NSC differentiation into neurons. Furthermore, DAAO could suppress the amplitude of glutamate-induced Ca(2+) transient, and thereby, inhibited the phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase3β (GSK3β), extracellular signal-regulated kinases1/2 (ERK1/2), and cAMP-responsive element-binding protein (CREB).

conclusionsOur findings demonstrate for the first time that NSCs can synthesize D-serine and, thereby, promote themselves proliferation and neuronal differentiation, which may afford a novel therapeutic strategy for the neurological disorders that require nerve cell replenishment, such as neurodegenerative diseases and stroke.
