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

Noscapine is an antitumor alkaloid derived from Papaver somniferum plants. Our previous study has demonstrated that exposure of noscapine on primary murine fetal cortical neurons exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) has neuroprotective effects. In current study, the effects of noscapine on cardiomyocytes (H9c2 cells) damage caused by 120 minutes (min) of OGD/R were evaluated and we determined whether the addition of BD1047, sigma-one receptor antagonist, prevents the protective effects of noscapine in H9c2 cells through the production of nitric oxide (NO) and apoptosis. To initiate OGD, H9c2 cells was transferred to glucose-free DMEM, and placed in a humidified incubation chamber. Cell viability was assessed with noscapine (1-5 μM) in the presence or absence of BD1047, 24 hours (h) after OGD/R. Cell viability, NO production and apoptosis ratio were evaluated by the MTT assay, the Griess method and the quantitative real-time PCR. Noscapine considerably improved the survival of H9c2 cells compared to OGD/R. Also, noscapine was extremely capable of reducing the concentrations of NO and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio expression. While the BD1047 administration alone diminished cell viability and increased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and NO levels. The addition of noscapine in the presence of BD1047 did not increase the cell viability relative to noscapine alone. Noscapine exerted cardioprotective effects exposed to OGD/R-induced injury in H9c2 cells, at least partly via attenuation of NO production and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, which indicates that the sigma-one receptor activation is involved in the protection by noscapine of H9c2 cells injured by OGD/R.
