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

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the antidepressant tianeptine on the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1(mTORC1)-mediated autophagy pathway in primary hippocampal neurons exposed to B27-deprived conditions. When primary hippocampal neurons were treated with tianeptine at doses of 1, 10, 50, and 100 µM for 3 days under B27-deprived conditions, we observed that it activated autophagy and increased the formation of autophagosomes through the upregulation of autophagic proteins, including autophagy-activating kinase 1 (ULK1), Beclin 1, LC3B-II/I, and p62. And at a concentration of 100 µM tianeptine, the decrease in mTORC1 phosphorylation induced by B27 deprivation was significantly reversed. Changes in the expression of autophagic proteins induced by B27 deprivation were reversed by tianeptine treatment in a concentration-dependent manner, and tianeptine significantly reduced the increase in LC3B membrane number induced by B27 deprivation, an effect that was blocked by pretreatment with rapamycin. In conclusion, tianeptine attenuated the activity of mTORC1-mediated autophagy in primary rat hippocampal neurons under B27-deprived conditions. These results may suggest a novel mechanism by which tianeptine may affect autophagy in neurons.
