Cadmium Impairs Autophagy Leading to Apoptosis by Ca
Article in Neurochemical research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Autophagy, a process for self-degradation of intracellular components and dysfunctional organelles, is closely related with neurodegenerative diseases. It has been shown that cadmium (Cd) induces neurotoxicity partly by impairing autophagy. However, the underlying mechanism is not fully elucidated. In this study, we show that Cd induced expansion of autophagosomes with a concomitant abnormal expression of autophagy-related (Atg) proteins in PC12 cells and primary murine neurons. 3-MA, a classical inhibitor of autophagy, attenuated Cd-induced expansion of autophagosomes and apoptosis in the cells. Further investigation demonstrated that Cd activated JNK pathway contributing to autophagosome expansion-dependent neuronal apoptosis. This is supported by the findings that pharmacological inhibition of JNK with SP600125 or expression of dominant negative c-Jun markedly attenuated Cd-induced expansion of autophagosomes and abnormal expression of Atg proteins, as well as apoptosis in PC12 cells and/or primary neurons. Furthermore, we noticed that chelating intracellular free Ca
