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

Mutations in amyloid precursor protein (APP) and presenilin1 result in overproduction and accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide, which has been shown to play an important role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Carvedilol, a nonselective β-adrenergic receptor blocker used for treatment for heart failure and hypertension, has displayed its neuroprotective capacity due to its antioxidant property. In this study, we investigated whether Carvedilol has a neuronal protective effect against endogenous Aβ neurotoxicity in mouse Neuro2a (N2a) cells transfected with Swedish amyloid precursor protein (Swe-APP) mutant and Presenilin exon9 deletion mutant (N2a/Swe.D9). Elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), protein carbonyls, and 4-HNE were found in N2a/Swe.D9 cells, which were ameliorated by administration of Carvedilol in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, the levels of ATP and mitochondrial membrane potential were reduced in N2a/Swe.D9 cells, which were restored by treatment with Carvedilol. N2a/Swe.D9 cells displayed increased vulnerability to H
