Expression of NGF, proNGF, p75
Article in Clinics (Sao Paulo, Brazil), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThis study aims to investigate the expression levels of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), the precursor form of NGF (proNGF), and p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75
methodsMale Sprague-Dawley rats, categorized as young (3-months-old) and elderly (16-months-old), were divided into four experimental groups: Young Sham, Young I/R, Elderly Sham, and Elderly I/R. Each group underwent either sham surgery or ischemia-reperfusion treatment. Following 24 h post-procedure, the severity of cerebral ischemia was assessed using the Zea Longa 5-point scoring system, and lung tissue pathological changes were examined using Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining. Western blot analysis was utilized to measure the expression levels of NGF, proNGF, and p75
resultsBoth young and elderly I/R groups exhibited lung tissue congestion and edema compared to their respective sham groups, with a significant increase in pathological scores (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the elderly I/R group demonstrated a significantly higher pathological score compared to the young I/R group (p < 0.05). Western blot analysis revealed that compared to the young sham group, the expression of NGF in the lung tissue of elderly sham rats decreased (p < 0.05), while proNGF and p75
conclusionCerebral ischemia-reperfusion-induced lung injury was associated with increased expression of proNGF and p75
