Bioactivated Glucoraphanin Improves Cell Survival, Upregulating Phospho-AKT, and Modulates Genes Involved in DNA Repair in an In Vitro Alzheimer's Disease Model: A Network-Transcriptomic Analysis.
Article in Nutrients, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesAlzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, for which a definitive cure is still missing. Recently, natural compounds have been investigated for their possible neuroprotective role, including the bioactivated product of glucoraphanin (GRA), the sulforaphane (SFN), which is highly rich in cruciferous vegetables. It is known that SFN alleviates neuronal dysfunction, apoptosis, and oxidative stress in the brain. In the light of this evidence, the aim of this study was to investigate the molecular effects of SFN pre-treatment in differentiated SH-SY5Y neurons exposed to β-amyloid (Aβ).
methodsTo this end, we first evaluated first cell viability via the Thiazolyl Blue Tetrazolium Bromide (MTT) assay, and then we analyzed the transcriptomic profiles by next-generation sequencing (NGS). Finally, we used a network analysis in order to understand which biological processes are affected, validating them by Western blot assay.
resultsSFN pre-treatment counteracted Aβ-induced loss of cell viability. The network-transcriptomic analysis revealed that SFN upregulates genes associated with DNA repair, such as
conclusionsThese data suggest that SFN is a natural compound that could be suitable in the prevention of AD, thanks to its neuroprotective role in increasing cell survival, potentially restoring DNA damage induced by Aβ exposure.
