[Effects of melatonin on PBDE-47-induced abnormal autophagy and apoptosis in PC12 cells].
Article in Nan fang yi ke da xue xue bao = Journal of Southern Medical University, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo explore the effect of melatonin (MT) on 2, 2', 4, 4'-tetrabromodiphenylether (PBDE-47)-induced abnormal autophagy and apoptosis in rat adrenal medullary pheochromocytoma PC12 cells.
methodsPC12 cells were pretreated with a concentration gradient (12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μmol/L) of melatonin for 2 h before exposure to 20 μmol/L PBDE-47 for 24 h to determine the optimal concentration of melatonin for cell treatment. In subsequent experiments, PC12 cells were treated with 0.5‰ DMSO (control group), 20 μmol/L PBDE-47, 25 μmol/L melatonin, or both PBDE-47 and melatonin. Immunofluorescence assay was used to detect the positive staining of microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3; a marker protein of autophagy); Western blotting was performed to determine the expression levels of the key autophagic proteins including autophagy-related protein 7 (ATG7), LC3-Ⅱ and autophagy substrate p62, and the key apoptotic proteins including active cysteine-containing aspartate specific protease-3 (active caspase-3) and cleaved poly(ADP ribose) polymerase (cleaved PARP).
resultsPBDE-47 treatment significantly reduced the viability of PC12 cells (
conclusionPBDE-47 exposure impairs autophagy to cause autophagosome accumulation and promote apoptosis of PC12 cells. Melatonin can improve PBDE-47-induced abnormal autophagy and apoptosis and thus promote the survival of PC12 cells.
