GSK3β Overexpression in Dentate Gyrus Neural Precursor Cells Expands the Progenitor Pool and Enhances Memory Skills.
Article in The Journal of biological chemistry, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
In restricted areas of the adult brain, like the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus (DG), there is continuous production of new neurons. This process, named adult neurogenesis, is involved in important cognitive functions such as memory and learning. It requires the presence of newborn neurons that arise from neuronal stem cells, which divide and differentiate through successive stages in adulthood. In this work, we demonstrate that overexpression of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) 3β in neural precursor cells (NPCs) using the glial fibrillary acidic protein promoter during DG development produces an increase in the neurogenic process, increasing NPCs numbers. Moreover, the transgenic mice show higher DG volume and increased number of mature granule neurons. In an attempt to compensate for these alterations, glial fibrillary acidic protein/GSK3β-overexpressing mice show increased levels of Dkk1 and sFRP3, two inhibitors of the Wnt-frizzled complex. We have also found behavioral differences between wild type and transgenic mice, indicating a higher rating in memory tasks for GSK3β-overexpressing mice compared with wild type mice. These data indicate that GSK3β is a crucial kinase in NPC physiology and suggest that this molecule plays a key role in the correct development of DG and adult neurogenesis in this region.
