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

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a ubiquitous compound emerging as a possible toxicant during embryonic development. Human embryonic stem cell (hESC) promises a valuable model for evaluating the effects of environmental chemicals on human prenatal development. In our study, 1 μM BPA were applied to hESC-derived embryoid bodies (hEBs) and effects of BPA on neural cell differentiation were investigated. The expression level of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and marker genes for ectoderm, neuron progenitor cells, and dopaminergic (DA) neurons were all repressed upon BPA exposure. The population of hESC-derived neural precursor cells (NPCs) and DA neurons were decreased. Furthermore, yield of DA neuron-secreted tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and dopamine were also reduced. When recombinant IGF-1 supplied, BPA-caused repressions were partially or completely relieved. Our further methylation microarray analysis indicated that there was a higher methylation level on the promoter of SRY-related HMG-box 5 (SOX5), a possible enhancer of IGF-1. Consistently, next quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) results confirmed that SOX5 expression was downregulated. Our investigation suggests that BPA represses DA neuron differentiation mainly through downregulating IGF-1 expression, which may attribute to the altered methylation level on the promoter of IGF-1 upstream genes. Our findings first elaborate the mechanism of IGF-1-mediated BPA effects on neuronal differentiation, which is helpful to illuminate the unique mechanism of BPA toxicity on prenatal neurodevelopment.
