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 purposeNeurodegenerative diseases present progressive neurological disorder induced by cell death or apoptosis. Catalpol, an iridoid glucoside isolated from the root of Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch, is present in a wide range of plant families. Although catalpol is an effective anti-apoptotic agent in LPS-induced neurodegeneration, the underlying mechanism has not been established. Here we have identified some of the mechanisms involved the prevention by catalpol of apoptosis induced by LPS in an experimental model of neurodegeneration in vitro. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Apoptosis was induced by adding LPS (80 ng·mL(-1)) to pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells, pretreated with catalpol for 12 h. We measured intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), apoptosis and intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) by flow cytometry or laser confocal scanning microscopy. We also analysed the protein expression of Bcl-2, Bax and Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII)-dependent apoptosis signal-regulating kinase-1 (ASK-1)/JNK/p38 signalling pathway in PC12 cells by Western blot. KEY

resultsCatalpol stimulated expression of Bcl-2 and inhibited the expression of Bax. Catalpol also attenuated the increase in Ca(2+) concentration induced by LPS in PC12 cells and down-regulated CaMK phosphorylation. The CaMKII-dependent ASK-1/JNK/p38 signalling cascade was blocked by catalpol. All these changes were accompanied by a decrease of apoptosis induced by LPS in PC12 cells. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: The data presented here provide new mechanistic insights into the links between the CaMKII-dependent ASK-1/JNK/p38 signalling pathway and the protective effect of catalpol on apoptosis induced by LPS in PC12 cells.
