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

In the brain, metabolic supply and demand is directly coupled to neuronal activation. Methods for culturing primary rodent brain cells have come of age and are geared toward sophisticated modeling of human brain physiology and pathology. However, the impact of the culture microenvironment on neuronal function is rarely considered. Therefore, we investigated the role of different neuronal culture supplements for neuronal survival and metabolic activity in a model of metabolic deprivation of neurons using oxygen deprivation, glucose deprivation, as well as live cell metabolic flux analysis. We demonstrate the impact of neuronal culture conditions on metabolic function and neuronal survival under conditions of metabolic stress. In particular, we find that the common neuronal cell culture supplement B27 protects neurons from cell death under hypoxic conditions and inhibits glycolysis. Furthermore, we present data that B27 as well as the alternative neuronal culture supplement N2 restrict neuronal glucose metabolism. On the contrary, we find that the more modern supplement GS21 promotes neuronal energy metabolism. Our data support the notion that careful control of the metabolic environment is an essential component in modeling brain function and the cellular and molecular pathophysiology of brain disease in culture.
