Effects of passage and cryopreservation on neurotrophic factor secretion from choroid plexus epithelial cells.

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.
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
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of passage and cryopreservation of choroid plexus epithelial cells on their secretion of neurotrophic factors. Choroid plexus epithelial cells were cryopreserved and thawed following primary culture or passage cultured for up to two passages. The supernatant of primary, first/second passage and cryopreserved-thawed choroid plexus epithelial cells was collected when cells reached 80-90% confluence. ELISA was used to quantify brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF) and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) levels in the cell supernatant. First passage and cryopreserved-thawed cells secreted less BDNF and CNTF compared with primary cultured cells and increased levels of these two factors compared with second passage cells, and increased levels of GDNF and NGF compared with primary cultured and second passage cells (all P<0.05). Therefore, first passage culture decreased BDNF and CNTF secretion but increased NGF and GDNF compared with primary culture; second passage culture diminished neurotrophic factor secretion compared with first passage culture; and cryopreservation did not weaken the function of choroid plexus epithelial cells in secreting BDNF, GDNF, NGF and CNTF. The current study demonstrates that first passage and cryopreserved-thawed choroid plexus epithelial cells have an enhanced function to secrete neurotrophic factors including BDNF, GDNF, NGF and CNTF.
