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

1,3-Dihydro-1-[2-hydroxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-benzimidazol-2-one (NS1619), a potent activator of the large conductance Ca2+ activated potassium (BK(Ca)) channel, has been demonstrated to induce preconditioning (PC) in the heart. The aim of our study was to test the delayed PC effect of NS1619 in rat cortical neuronal cultures against oxygen-glucose deprivation, H2O2, or glutamate excitotoxicity. We also investigated its actions on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and on mitochondrial and plasma membrane potentials. Furthermore, we tested the activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway, and the effect of NS1619 on caspase-3/7. NS1619 dose-dependently protected the cells against the toxic insults, and the protection was completely blocked by a superoxide dismutase mimetic and a PI3K antagonist, but not by BK(Ca) channel inhibitors. Application of NS1619 increased ROS generation, depolarized isolated mitochondria, hyperpolarized the neuronal cell membrane, and activated the PI3K signaling cascade. However, only the effect on the cell membrane potential was antagonized by BK(Ca) channel blockers. NS1619 inhibited the activation of capase-3/7. In summary, NS1619 is a potent inducer of delayed neuronal PC. However, the neuroprotective effect seems to be independent of cell membrane and mitochondrial BK(Ca) channels. Rather it is the consequence of ROS generation, activation of the PI3K pathway, and inhibition of caspase activation.
