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

Chronic alcohol drinking can damage the central nervous system via many mechanisms. One of these may involve a deficiency of an essential nutrient, thiamine, as a result of chronic alcohol exposure. Although thiamine deficiency (TD) has often been linked to the neuropathology of alcohol-related brain damage, the underlying mechanisms remain to be investigated. The crossed high alcohol preferring (cHAP) mice prefer alcohol to water when they have free access. In this study, we used cHAP mice to determine the effect of chronic voluntary alcohol exposure on thiamine levels and neuropathological changes in the brain. The male cHAP mice were given free-choice access to 10% ethanol (EtOH) and water for 7 months, sacrificed, and thiamine concentrations in the blood plasma and brain were determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The expression of thiamine transporters was examined by immunoblotting. In addition, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, active caspase-3-dependent apoptosis, and neurogenesis in the brain were evaluated. The results indicated that chronic alcohol exposure decreased thiamine levels and thiamine transporters, and increased oxidative stress, ER stress, and neuronal apoptosis in the brains. Interestingly, alcohol exposure also stimulated neurogenesis in the hippocampus which may serve as a compensatory mechanism in response to alcohol-induced brain damage. Our data have demonstrated that cHAP mice are a useful model to study the interaction between chronic alcohol consumption and TD, as well as TD's contributions to the neuropathological processes resulting in alcohol-related brain damage.
