Molecular Mechanism of Dietary Restriction in Neuroprevention and Neurogenesis: Involvement of Neurotrophic Factors.
Article in Toxicological research, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Dietary restriction (DR) is the most efficacious intervention for retarding the deleterious effects of aging. DR increases longevity, decreases the occurrence and severity of age-related diseases, and retards the physiological decline associated with aging. The beneficial effects of DR have been mostly studied in non-neuronal tissues. However, several studies have showed that DR attenuate neuronal loss after several different insults including exposure to kainate, ischemia, and MPTR Moreover, administration of the non-metabolizable glucose analog 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) could mimic the neuroprotective effect of DR in rodent, presumably by limiting glucose availability at the cellular level. Based on the studies of chemically induced D.R., it has been proposed that the mechanism whereby DR and 2DG protect neurons is largely mediated by stress response proteins such as HSP70 and GRP78 which are increased in neurons of rats and mice fed a DR regimen. In addition, D.R., as mild metabolic stress, could lead to the increased activity in neuronal circuits and thus induce expression of neurotrophic factors. Interestingly, such increased neuronal activities also enhance neurogenesis in the brains of adult rodents. In this review, we focus on what is known regarding molecular mechanisms of the protective role of DR in neurodegenerative diseases and aging process. Also, we propose that DR is a mild cellular stress that stimulates production of neurotrophic factors, which are major regulators of neuronal survival, as well as neurogenesis in adult brain.
