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

Oxidative stress is closely related to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease. Carvedilol, a nonselective β-adrenergic receptor blocker with pleiotropic activity has been shown to exert neuroprotective effect due to its antioxidant property. However, the neuroprotective mechanism of carvedilol is still not fully uncovered. The phosphotidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway plays key role in cell survival and the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) signaling pathway is the major cellular defense mechanism against oxidative stress. Here we investigated the effects of carvedilol on 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced cell death as well as the Akt and Nrf2/ARE pathways in PC12 cells. We found that carvedilol significantly increased cell viability and decreased reactive oxygen species in PC12 cells exposed to 6-OHDA. Furthermore, carvedilol activated the Akt and Nrf2/ARE pathways in a concentration-dependent manner, and increased the protein levels of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) and NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase-1(NQO-1), two downstream factors of the Nrf2/ARE pathway. In summary, our results indicate that carvedilol protects PC12 cells against 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity possibly through activating the Akt and Nrf2/ARE signaling pathways.
