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

The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is very complex and there are currently no significant treatments for the disease. Caspase-8 is known to be involved in neuronal apoptosis. To explore a possible molecular mechanisms involved in AD pathology, this study investigated the effect of caspase-8 knockdown on amyloid-β 1-40 (Aβ1-40)-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells. The proliferation of PC12 cells was significantly inhibited in Aβ-treated cells, and a high fraction of the cells underwent apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Transfection of caspase-8 small interfering RNA (siRNA) resulted in reduced apoptosis following Aβ1-40 treatment. The activation of caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 was stimulated by Aβ1-40, an effect that was also significantly reduced by caspase-8 siRNA. Knockdown of caspase-8 increased the phosphorylation of the signaling molecules AKT and ERK1/2 relative to cells treated with Aβ1-40 alone. Caspase-8 is an important effector molecule involved in apoptosis induced by Aβ1-40 and is likely involved in AD pathology. This study suggests that targeted inhibition of caspase-8 may be a new therapeutic for preventing neuronal apoptosis and inhibiting the progression of AD.
