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

backgroundN-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propinoic acid (AMPA) receptors bound to postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) and α isoform of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (αCaMKII) is fundamentally involved in the regulation of working memory. The aim of present study was to investigate the alterations of NMDA and AMPA receptors responsible for hippocampal synaptic dysfunction and selective neuronal cell death after chronic renal failure (CRF) which may be associated with impairment of working memory.

methodsAltered interactions between NMDA and AMPA receptors and PSD-95 and αCaMKII were analyzed in the cornu ammonis (CA) 1 and CA3/dentate gyrus (DG) subfields of the uremic rat hippocampi using the immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation methods.

resultsUremia induced by CRF produced necrotic cell death and decreased neuronal nucleoli protein levels in the hippocampal CA1 subfield, but not in the CA3/DG subfields. The CA1 subfields of CRF rats exhibited significant decreases and increases, respectively, in the expressions of PSD-95/NR2B and αCaMKII/NR2A synaptic complex. Moreover, increased phosphorylation of glutamate receptor type 1 (GluR1) AMPA receptor at ser831 was observed in the CA1 subfield after CRF.

conclusionThese hippocampal CA1 neuronal vulnerability may be responsible for memory dysfunction after CRF as mediated by an increase in NR2A-containing NMDA receptors bound to αCaMKII and subsequent activation of GluR1-containing AMPA receptors caused by the phosphorylation of GluR1 at ser831.
