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

Taxodione, a diterpenoid from the roots of Salvia chorassanica Bunge, possesses cytotoxic, apoptotic, and antimicrobial activity. This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of taxodione on serum/glucose deprivation-induced ischemic injury in PC12 cells and related mechanisms. In an in vitro model of ischemia, PC12 cells were exposed to serum and glucose deprivation for 6 and 18 h. The protective effects of the methanol extract of S. chorassanica and taxodione were assessed using alamarBlue(®) assay. Intracellular ROS production was measured by fluorimetry using 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA). The levels of PARP, Bcl-2, and Bax proteins were detected after western blot analysis. It was shown that taxodione (0.2-1.5 μM) significantly increased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner after ischemic insult. Taxodione has antioxidant activity and protects PC12 cells against oxidative stress-induced apoptotic cell death. Meanwhile, pretreatment with taxodione significantly induced an increase in Bcl-2 and a decrease in Bax protein level. The results of this study confirmed the protective effect of taxodione in serum/glucose deprivation-induced ischemic injury and the putative role of apoptosis as a underling mechanisms. Thus, it would be fair to consider taxodione as a promising ingredient of S. chorassanica for the expansion on novel class of anti-ischemic agents.
