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

The protective effect of zoanthamine on Alzheimer's disease by enhancing differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) was evaluated. NSCs were isolated from C57BL/6 mice and assessed by cell viability and apoptosis assays. The cells were separated into five different groups: green fluorescent protein (GFP; transfected with GFP), amyloid precursor protein (APP; transfected with APP), APP + zoanthamine, APP + miR-9 inhibitor, and APP + miR-9 inhibitor + zoanthamine. The effects of zoanthamine on the differentiation of NSCs was determined. Moreover, the effects of zoanthamine on the expression of miR-9 and Notch signalling pathway members was assessed by western blot analysis and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. There was a significant increase in cell viability and a decrease in apoptosis of NSCs in the APP + zoanthamine group compared with the APP group. Treatment with zoanthamine attenuated miR-9 expression and neuronal cell differentiation in APP-treated NSCs. Moreover, in the APP + miR-9 inhibitor group, neuronal cell differentiation and miR-9 expression were significantly reduced, and treatment with zoanthamine reduced the number of differentiated cells and miR-9 expression compared with the APP + miR-9 inhibitor group. There was a significant reduction in the expression of Hes1 and NICD proteins in the APP + zoanthamine group relative to the APP group. In addition, the levels of Hes1 and NICD were enhanced by inhibition of miR-9 but zoanthamine prevented these increases. In conclusion, these results suggest that treatment with zoanthamine enhances the differentiation of NSCs by regulating Notch signalling via elevated miR-9 expression.
