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

introductionCalcium (Ca) is the phenomenon intracellular molecule that regulate many cellular process in neurons physiologically. Calcium dysregulation may occur in neurons due to excessive synaptic release of glutamate or other reasons related with neurodegeneration. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid that has antioxidant effect in cell. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether astaxanthin affects NMDA subunits, calcium binding proteins and L Type voltage sensitive Ca-channels (LVSCC) in primary cortical neuron cultures in order to see its role in calcium metabolism.

methodsPrimary cortical neurons were prepared from embryonic day 16-Sprague Dawley rat embryos. The cultures were treated with 10 nM and 20 nM astaxanthin on day 7. NMDA subunits, LVSCC-A1C and LVSCC-A1D, calbindinD28k and parvalbumin mRNA expression levels was determined by qRT-PCR at 4, 24 and 48 hours.

resultsOur findings indicate that astaxanthin could have direct or indirect outcome on calcium homeostasis by regulating mRNA expression levels of NMDA subunits, LVSCC-A1C and LVSCC-A1D, calbindinD28k and parvalbumin by a dose and time dependent manner.

conclusionNeuroprotective effects of astaxanthin as a Ca homeostasis regulator should be noted throughout neurodegenerative disorders, and neurosurgery applications.
