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

aimTo study the effects of Claulansine F (Clau F), a carbazole alkaloid isolated from the stem of Clausena lansium (Lour) Skeels, on neuritogenesis of PC12 cells, and to elucidate the mechanism of action.

methodsNeuritogenesis of PC12 cells was quantified under an inverted microscope. Expression of the neurite outgrowth marker GAP-43 was detected using immunofluorescence. GAP-43 transcription was measured using RT-PCR. Cell viability was evaluated with MTT assay. The levels of phosphor-ERK1/2, phosphor-CREB, phosphor-AKT and acetylate-p53 in the cells were examined using Western blotting analyses.

resultsClau F (10-100 μmol/L) significantly increased the percentage of PC12 cells bearing neurites. Clau F markedly increased the expression of GAP-43 in the cells. The efficiency of Clau F (10 μmol/L) in increasing neuritogenesis and GAP-43 expression was comparable to that of nerve growth factor (50 ng/mL). In addition, Clau F completely blocked the proliferation of PC12 cells within 7 d of incubation, whereas it did not cause cell death in cultured rat cortical neurons. Treatment of PC12 cells with Clau F activated both ERK and AKT signaling pathways. Co-treatment of PC12 cells with the specific ERK inhibitor PD98059, but not the specific PI3K inhibitor LY294002, blocked Clau F-induced neuritogenesis and GAP-43 upregulation.

conclusionClau F promotes neuritogenesis in PC12 cells specifically via activation of the ERK signaling pathway.
