Ginsenosides Rg1 and Rg2 Activate Autophagy and Attenuate Oxidative Stress in Neuroblastoma Cells Overexpressing Aβ(1-42).

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
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegeneration with protein deposits, altered proteolysis, and inflammatory and oxidative processes as major hallmarks. Despite the continuous search for potential therapeutic treatments, no cure is available to date. The use of natural molecules as adjuvants in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease is a very promising strategy. In this regard, ginsenosides from ginseng root show a variety of biological effects. Here, we dissected the role of ginsenosides Rg1 and Rg2 in modulating autophagy and oxidative stress in neuroblastoma cells overexpressing Aβ(1-42). Key hallmarks of these cellular processes were detected through immunomethods and fluorometric assays. Our findings indicate that ginsenosides are able to upregulate autophagy in neuronal cells as demonstrated by increased levels of LC3II and Beclin-1 proteins and decreased amounts of p62. Simultaneously, an activation of lysosomal hydrolases was observed. Furthermore, autophagy activation promoted the clearance of Aβ(1-42). Rg1 and Rg2 also reduced oxidative stress sources and macromolecule oxidation, promoting NRF2 nuclear translocation and the expression of antioxidant enzymes. Our data further clarify the mechanisms of action of Rg1 and Rg2, indicating new insights into their role in the management of disorders like Alzheimer's disease.
