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

contextAlzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia affecting the aged population and neuroinflammation is one of the most observed AD pathologies. NF-κB is the central regulator of inflammation and inhibitor κB kinase (IKK) is the converging point in NF-κB activation. Celastrol is a natural triterpene used as a treatment for inflammatory conditions.

objectiveThis study determines the neuroprotective and inhibitory effect of celastrol on amyloid beta MATERIALS AND

methodsRetinoic acid differentiated IMR-32 cells were treated with celastrol (1 μM) before treatment with Aβ

resultsCelastrol (1 μM) inhibited Aβ DISCUSSION AND

conclusionThe decreased expression of pIκBα in celastrol pretreated cells affirms the functional representation of inhibited IKKβ activity in these cells. The neuroprotective potentials of celastrol and its analogues may be related to IKK inhibition.
