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

rationaleMitochondrial complex I dysfunction and alterations in DNA methylation levels are consistently reported in bipolar disorder (BD) and are regulated by lithium. One of the mechanisms by which lithium may exert its effects in BD is by improving mitochondrial complex I function. Therefore, we examined whether complex I dysfunction induces methylation and hydroxymethylation of DNA and whether lithium alters these effects in rat primary cortical neurons.

methodsRotenone was used to induce mitochondrial complex I dysfunction. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay, and ATP levels were assessed by Cell-Titer-Glo. Complex I activity was measured using an ELISA-based assay. Apoptosis, DNA methylation, and hydroxymethylation levels were measured by immunocytochemistry.

resultsRotenone decreased complex I activity and ATP production, but increased cell death and apoptosis. Rotenone treatment increased levels of 5-methylcytosine (5mc) and hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmc), suggesting a possible association between complex I dysfunction and DNA alterations. Lithium prevented rotenone-induced changes in mitochondrial complex I function, cell death and changes to DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that decreased mitochondrial complex I activity may increase DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation in rat primary cortical neurons and that lithium may prevent these effects.
