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

Integrin alpha(v)beta(8) plays an important role in cerebral vascular development. It has been proven that alpha(v)beta(8) is a key factor for transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) activation in epithelial cells. However, it is not clear whether alpha(v)beta(8) can activate TGF-beta1 and play a role in protection during neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. In this study, we investigated the relationship between alpha(v)beta(8) and TGF-beta1 activation, and thus the effects of TGF-beta1 activation in the protection of neurons after hypoxia-ischemia (HI). Astrocytes and neurons from rat brains were cultured and then subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation to generate HI model in vitro. beta(8) expression was determined using immunocytochemistry, western blot, and reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. TGF-beta1 activation was determined by TGF-beta bioassay in a tested cell (astrocyte) and a reporter cell co-culture system. The pro-apoptotic protein, cleaved caspase-3, and the anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, were detected using western blot. Cellular apoptosis was detected with TUNEL. We found that beta(8) expression was stronger in astrocytes than that in neurons under normoxia. HI resulted in a rapid and persistent increase of beta(8) expression in astrocytes, but only in a slight and transient increase in neurons. Astrocytes beta(8) could induce TGF-beta1 leading to upregulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, and thus attenuated neuronal apoptosis. The present findings suggest that beta(8) protecting the brain against neonatal HI injury through TGF-beta1 signaling pathway, which may have implications for the treatment of HI brain injury.
