Oxidized Cell-Free DNA Rapidly Skews the Transcriptional Profile of Brain Cells toward Boosting Neurogenesis and Neuroplasticity.

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
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is liberated and accumulated in neural tissue due to cell damage. The oxidative and nitrosative stress in the brain that accompanies various pathological conditions has been shown to increase the oxidation of cellular and cell-free DNA. Whether the high concentration of non-oxidized and oxidized cfDNA may affect the transcriptome response of brain cells has not been studied. In the current work, we studied whether cfDNA fragments affect several key pathways, including neurogenesis, at the level of gene expression in brain cells. In the study, primary rat cerebellum cell cultures were used to assess the effects of oxidized and non-oxidized cfDNA on the expression of 91 genes in brain cells. We found that only oxidized cfDNA, not non-oxidized cfDNA, significantly altered the transcription in brain cells in 3 h. The pattern of change included all 10 upregulated genes (
