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

Neuronal dysfunction and subsequent apoptosis under high glucose conditions during diabetes contribute majorly to the manifestation of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). PERK (protein kinase RNA (PKR)-like ER kinase) one among the three canonical arms of unfolded protein response (UPR), is believed to play a crucial role in determining the cell fate during endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS/ER stress) conditions. We evaluated the role of PERK inhibitor GSK2606414 in high glucose (30 ​mM) treated neuroblastoma (N2A) cells. High glucose resulted in disruption of ER proteostasis by activation of UPR which is evident through increased (p ​< ​0.001) expression of GRP78, p-PERK, p-eIF2α, ATF-4 and CHOP when compared to normal cells. It is accompanied with enhanced GRP78 localization in Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) lumen evident from ER labeling Immunofluorescence (IF) staining. PERK activation resulted in altered mitochondrial function evident by increased mitochondrial superoxide production and compromised mitochondrial homeostasis with decrease in Mfn-2 levels. Additionally, ER stress induced neuronal apoptosis was attenuated by GSK2606414 treatment via inhibiting the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4-CHOP axis that not only curtailed the levels of apoptotic proteins like Bax and caspase 3 but also elevated the levels of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2. Collectively, our findings revealed the neuroprotective potential of GSK2606414 against high glucose induced neurotoxicity in N2A cells.
