Change in Amino Acid Pools During Neuronal Differentiation of PC12 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
BACKGROUND/
aimAlthough rat PC12 cells are a well-established model to investigate neuronal differentiation, survival and function, the reports of differentiation-associated changes in the intracellular amino acid pools of neurotransmitters have been limited. In this study, possible changes in the intracellular amino acid pools were investigated during nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced differentiation of PC12 cells. MATERIALS AND
methodsRat PC12 cells were induced to differentiate into neuronal cells by 50 ng/ml NGF in serum-free Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium, followed by the addition of fresh NGF-containing medium at day 3, without medium change. Cell viability was determined by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. Intracellular amino acids were extracted by 5%trichloroacetic acid and quantified by amino acid analyzer.
resultsDifferentiated PC12 cells showed high concentrations of excitatory neurotransmitters (glutamic acid and aspartic acid) and glutamine (energy supply). In contrast, urea and taurine levels declined with the progression of neuronal differentiation. Exogenous addition of taurine, urea, and L- and D- aspartic acid showed little or no effect on supporting viability of PC12 cells cultured in serum-free medium.
conclusionThe present study demonstrated dramatic changes in the composition of intracellular amino acids during neuronal differentiation.
