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

objectivesAlzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent brain diseases among the elderly, majority of which is caused by abnormal deposition of amyloid beta-peptide (Aβ). Galantamine, currently the first-line drug in treatment of AD, has been shown to diminish Aβ-induced neurotoxicity and exert favourable neuroprotective effects, but the detail mechanisms remain unclear. MATERIALS AND

methodsEffects of galantamine on Aβ-induced cytotoxicity were checked by MTT, clone formation and apoptosis assays. The protein variations and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were measured by western blotting analysis and dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate assay, respectively.

resultsGalantamine reversed Aβ-induced cell growth inhibition and apoptosis in neuron cells PC12. Aβ activated the entire autophagy flux and accumulation of autophagosomes, and the inhibition of autophagy decreased the protein level of cleaved-caspase-3 and Aβ-induced cytotoxicity. Meanwhile, galantamine suppressed Aβ-mediated autophagy flux and accumulation of autophagosomes. Moreover, Aβ upregulated ROS accumulation, while ROS scavengers N-acetyl-l-cysteine impaired Aβ-mediated autophagy. Further investigation showed that galantamine downregulated NOX4 expression to inhibit Aβ-mediated ROS accumulation and autophagy.

conclusionsGalantamine inhibits Aβ-induced cytostatic autophagy through decreasing ROS accumulation, providing new insights into deep understanding of AD progression and molecular basis of galantamine in neuroprotection.
