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

Objective: Mitochondrial dysfunction is evident in the early stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore development of drugs that protect mitochondrial function is a promising strategy for AD. The present work was to investigate the effects of 2, 3, 5, 4'-Tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-d-glucosides (TSG) on a mitochondrial dysfunction cell model induced by sodium azide and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was detected by a fluorescence method. Cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level was measured using a firefly luciferase-based kit. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected using dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA). The expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax were measured by Western blotting assay. Flow cytometry was utilized to measure apoptosis. Results: Pretreatment of TSG (25-200 μmol/L) for 24 h significantly elevated MMP and ATP content, reduced ROS level and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and inhibited apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to sodium azide. Conclusion: These results suggest that TSG protects SH-SY5Y cells against sodium azide-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. These findings are helpful to understand the protective effect of TSG on mitochondria, which are involved in the early stage of AD.
