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

Transthyretin (TTR) is a carrier for thyroid hormones and retinol binding protein. Several mutated forms of TTR cause familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy, an inheritable lethal disease. On the other hand, wild-type TTR has a protective role against Alzheimer's disease. Despite its overall importance in normal animal physiology and in disease, few studies have focused on its regulation. An in silico analysis of the rat TTR gene revealed a glucocorticoid responsive element in the 3' region of the first intron. Thus, we hypothesised that TTR could be regulated by glucocorticoid hormones and investigated the regulation of TTR expression in response to hydrocortisone in a rat choroid plexus cell line (RCP) and in primary cultures of choroid plexus epithelial cells (CPEC). In addition, the effect of psychosocial stress on TTR expression was analysed in rat liver, choroid plexus (CP) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In RCP and CPEC cultures hydrocortisone upregulated TTR expression, an effect suppressed by glucocorticoid receptor and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. Moreover, induction of psychosocial stress increased TTR expression in liver, CP and CSF of animals subjected to acute and chronic stress conditions. Overall, we conclude that stress upregulates TTR expression in CP.
