Metal-induced neurotoxicity in a RAGE-expressing C. elegans model.
Article in Neurotoxicology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Environmental and occupational metal exposure poses serious global concerns. Metal exposure have severally been associated with neurotoxicity and brain damage. Furthermore, receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is also implicated in neurological disorders, particularly those with altered glucose metabolism. Here, we examine potential compounding effect of metal exposure and RAGE expression on dopamine (DA) and serotonin (SER) neurons in C. elegans. In addition, we evaluate the effect of RAGE expression on DA and SER neurons in hyperglycemic conditions. Newly generated RAGE-expressing C. elegans tagged with green fluorescent proteins (GFP) in DAergic and SERergic neurons were treated with cadmium (Cd) or manganese (Mn). Additionally, the RAGE-expressing worms were also exposed to high glucose conditions. Results showed metals induced neurodegeneration both in the presence and absence of RAGE expression, but the manner of degeneration differed between Cd and Mn treated nematodes. Furthermore, RAGE-expressing worms showed significant neurodegeneration in both DAergic and SERergic neurons. Our results indicate co-occurrence of metal exposure and RAGE expression can induce neurodegeneration. Additionally, we show that RAGE expression can exacerbate hyperglycemic induced neurodegeneration.
