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

Self-renewing neural stem cells and progenitor cells are cell populations that generate radial glial cells and neurons through asymmetric division. Regulation of intracellular pH in stem cells with high metabolic activity is critical for both cell signaling and proliferation. We have recently found that a S0859-inhibitable electrogenic Na/HCO3 co-transporter (NBCe1, Slc4a4), is the primary pHi regulatory mechanism in stem cell-derived radial glial-like cells. Here we show, by using the voltage-sensitive fluorescent dye DiBAC4(3) and BCECF, a pH-sensitive dye, that an antioxidant, tannic acid (100 µM), can inhibit potassium- and calcium-dependent rapid changes in membrane potential and NBCe1 mediated pHi regulation in brain-derived glial-like cells in vitro. Furthermore, neural stem cell differentiation and neurosphere formation (proliferation) were completely inhibited by tannic acid. The present study provides evidence that tannic acid is a natural inhibitor of NBCe1. It is tempting to speculate that tannic acid or related compounds that inhibits NBCe1-mediated pHi regulation in glial-like cells may also have bearing on the treatment of glial neoplasms.
