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

purposeTo examine the effects of SRT2104, an SIRT1 activator, in optic nerve degeneration induced by TNF and to investigate whether it affects the autophagic status after induction of axonal degeneration. STUDY

designExperimental.

methodsAdult male Wistar rats received intravitreal injection of TNF alone, concomitant injection of SRT2104 and TNF, or injection of SRT2104 alone. The autophagic status in the optic nerve was evaluated to examine p62 and LC3-II expression by immunoblot analysis. The effect of SRT2104 on TNF-induced axon loss was determined by counting the number of axons.

resultsIntravitreal injection of SRT2104 showed a modest protective tendency in the 2-pmol-treated groups against TNF-induced axon loss, although the tendency was not significant on quantitative analysis. However, significant protective effects were found in the 20- or 200-pmol-treated groups. Injection of SRT2104 alone significantly decreased the p62 levels and increased the LC3-II levels as compared with the basal levels. Similarly, concomitant injection of SRT2104 and TNF significantly decreased the p62 levels and increased the LC3-II levels as compared with the TNF-treated group. Upregulation of SIRT1 expression was observed in the optic nerve after SRT2104 treatment.

conclusionThe SIRT1 activator SRT2104 exerts axonal protection in TNF-induced optic nerve degeneration. This effect may be associated with upregulated autophagic status in the optic nerve.
