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

Hsp70, Hsp32, and Hsp27 were induced by celastrol in rat cerebral cortical cultures at dosages that did not affect cell viability. Pronounced differences were observed in the cellular localization of these heat shock proteins in cell types of cerebral cortical cultures. Celastrol-induced Hsp70 localized to the cell body and cellular processes of neurons that were identified by neuron-specific βIII-tubulin. Hsp70 was not detected in adjacent GFAP-positive glial cells that demonstrated a strong signal for Hsp27 and Hsp32 in both glial cell bodies and cellular processes. Cells in the cerebral cortex region of the brain are selectively impacted during the progression of Alzheimer's disease which is a "protein misfolding disorder." Heat shock proteins provide a line of defense against misfolded, aggregation-prone proteins. Celastrol is a potential agent to counter this neurodegenerative disorder as recent evidence indicates that in vivo administration of celastrol in a transgenic model of Alzheimer's reduces an important neuropathological hallmark of this disease, namely, amyloid beta pathology that involves protein aggregation.
