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

An increase in central nervous system (CNS) remyelination and a decrease in CNS inflammation are important steps to halt the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). RNS60 is a bioactive aqueous solution generated by subjecting normal saline to Taylor-Couette-Poiseuille flow under elevated oxygen pressure. Recently we have demonstrated that RNS60 exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. Here, we describe promyelinating property of RNS60. RNS60, but not normal saline (NS), RNS10.3 (TCP-modified saline without excess oxygen) or PNS60 (saline containing excess oxygen without TCP modification), stimulated the expression of myelin-specific genes and proteins (myelin basic protein, MBP; myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, MOG and proteolipid protein, PLP) in primary mouse oligodendroglia and mixed glial cells. While investigating the mechanisms, we found that RNS60 treatment induced the activation of cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) in oligodendrocytes, ultimately leading to the recruitment of CREB to the promoters of myelin-specific genes. Furthermore, activation of type 1A p110β/α, but not type 1B p110γ, phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI-3) kinase by RNS60 together with abrogation of RNS60-mediated activation of CREB and upregulation of myelin genes by LY294002 (a specific inhibitor of PI-3 kinase) suggest that RNS60 upregulates the activation of CREB and the expression of myelin-specific molecules in oligodendrocytes via activation of PI3 kinase. These results highlight a novel promyelinating property of RNS60, which may be of benefit for MS and other demyelinating disorders.
