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

Glutamate-induced excitotoxicity is considered as one of the major pathophysiological factors of motoneuron death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other motoneuron diseases. In order to expand our knowledge on mechanisms of glutamate-induced excitotoxicity, the present study proposes to determine the metabolic consequences of glutamate and astrocytes in primary enriched motoneuron culture. Using liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS), we showed that the presence of astrocytes and glutamate profoundly modified the metabolic profile of motoneurons. Our study highlights for the first time that crosstalk between astrocytes and enriched motoneuron culture induced alterations in phenylalanine, tryptophan, purine, arginine, proline, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism in motoneurons. We observed that astrocytes modulate the sensitivity of motoneurons to glutamate, since metabolites altered by glutamate in motoneurons cultured alone were different (except 5-hydroxylysine) from those altered in co-cultured motoneurons. Our findings provide new insight into the metabolic alterations associated to astrocytes and glutamate in motoneurons and provide opportunities to identify novel therapeutic targets.
