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

Osteopontin (OPN), a large secreted glycoprotein with an arginine, glycine, aspartate (RGD) motif, can bind and signal through cellular integrin receptors. We have shown previously that OPN enhances neuronal survival in the setting of ischemia. Here, we sought to increase the neuroprotective potency of OPN and improve the method of delivery with the goal of identifying a treatment for stroke in humans. We show that thrombin cleavage of OPN improves its ability to ligate integrin receptors and its neuroprotective capacity in models of ischemia. Thrombin-cleaved OPN is a twofold more effective neuroprotectant than the untreated molecule. We also tested whether OPN could be administered intranasally and found that it is efficiently targeted to the brain via intranasal delivery. Furthermore, intranasal administration of thrombin-treated OPN confers protection against ischemic brain injury. Osteopontin mimetics based on the peptide sequences located either N or C terminal to the thrombin cleavage site were generated and tested in models of ischemia. Treatment with successively shorter N-terminal peptides and a phosphorylated C-terminal peptide provided significant neuroprotection against ischemic injury. These findings show that OPN mimetics offer promise for development into new drugs for the treatment of stroke.
