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

Autophagy confers protective or detrimental effects on cells depending on the cellular context. We showed here that oxidative stress-induced cell death in osteocytic MLO-Y4 cells coincided with decreased autophagy. Decreased autophagy was also observed in osteocytes of superoxide dismutase 1- (SOD1-) deficient mice. Oxidative stress-induced osteocyte death was exacerbated by an autophagy inhibitor, chloroquine, suggesting a protective function of basal autophagy levels against oxidative stress-induced cell death. Pretreatment with dexamethasone reduced the susceptibility of osteocytes to oxidative stress-induced cell death and conferred protection against TNFα/cycloheximide-induced cell death. Inhibition of MAPK/ERK attenuated the formation of autophagosome, leading to increased osteocyte cell death. Taken together, our results suggest that autophagy, induced by moderate levels of glucocorticoids, leads to the preconditioning of osteocytes and conveys a novel cell-protective function against cell death induced by oxidative stress and other insults. © 2018 The Authors.
