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

Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a widely used commercial plasticizer. DEHP exposure has a negative impact on brain development and cognition, but the mechanisms responsible for DEHP-induced neurotoxicity are not well understood. Here we showed that DEHP exposure increased maleic dialdehyde and reactive oxygen species contents and decreased endogenous superoxide dismutase activity in a mouse neuroblastoma cell line (N2a cell line). DEHP exposure not only induced reduction of neurite outgrowth, but also led to microtubule-associated protein tau hyperphosphorylation and dissociation from microtubules. Furthermore, DEHP exposure decreased the levels of synapsin-1 and postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95), which play critical roles in synaptic function. Antioxidant vitamin E pretreatment prevented DEHP-induced abnormalities in the cells. These results indicate that DEHP exposure could induce abnormal action of proteins including tau, synapsin-1 and PSD95, which play critical roles in the synaptic structure and function, and that these alterations might be mediated by peroxidative damage.
