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

alphaB-crystallin (alpha-BC), a member of the small heat-shock proteins (sHSP), is constitutively expressed in the vertebrate lens and in non-ocular tissues including the central nervous system (CNS). In this study we investigated the expression of alpha-BC in the rat brain after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). alpha-BC transcript and protein were transiently expressed 4 h after MCAO/reperfusion in the pyramidal neurons in the peri-infarct region of the ischemic hemisphere. Beginning 2 days after MCAO, significant alpha-BC induction appeared in reactive astrocytes in the penumbra, and this induction was sustained for several days. In addition, levels of MAPKAPK-2, one of the alpha-BC upstream kinases, and its phosphorylated form were upregulated gradually and peaked 4 days after ischemia/reperfusion injury. The immunohistochemical study indicated that alpha-BC was co-localized with MAPKAPK-2 and p-MAPKAPK-2. Furthermore, p38beta MAPK, an upstream kinase of MAPKAPK-2, which has been known to be involved in compensatory responses to stress, was also co-localized with alpha-BC in the penumbra. Our results suggest that the p38beta-dependent alpha-BC induction in neurons and astrocytes in the penumbra may play an important role in the postischemic brain.
