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

objectiveTo study the effect of advanced maternal age (AMA) on the development of hippocampal neural stem cells in offspring rats.

methodsTen 3-month-old and ten 12-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were housed individually with 3-month-old male rats (1:1, n=20), whose offspring rats were assigned to a control group and an AMA group. A total of 40 rats were randomly selected from each group. Immunofluorescence assay and Western blot were used to localize and determine the levels of protein expression of Nestin and doublecortin (DCX) on day 7 as well as neuronal nuclear antigen (NeuN) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) on day 28 (n=8 for each marker). Immunofluorescence assay was also used to localize the hippocampal expression of polysialylated isoforms of neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM) on day 14 (n=8 for each marker).

resultsAccording to the Western blot results, the AMA group had significantly lower protein expression of DCX than the control group (P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in the protein expression of Nestin, NeuN, and GFAP between the two groups (P>0.05). According to the results of immunofluorescence assay, the AMA group had significantly lower protein expression of Nestin, DCX, and PSA-NCAM in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) region than the control group (P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in the above indices in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 regions between the two groups (P>0.05). The AMA group had significantly higher expression of NeuN in the hippocampal CA1 region than the control group (P<0.01), while there were no significant differences in the expression of NeuN in the hippocampal DG and CA3 regions between the two groups (P>0.05). The AMA group had significantly lower expression of GFAP in the hippocampal CA1, CA3, and DG regions than the control group (P<0.05).

conclusionsAMA may cause inhibition of proliferation, survival, and migration of hippocampal neural stem cells. AMA may also affect their differentiation into neurons and astrocytes, which will eventually lead to developmental disorders of hippocampal neural stem cells in offspring rats.
