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

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are emerging as a novel class of potentially therapeutic agents for treating acute injuries of the central nervous system (CNS). In this review, we summarize data regarding the effects of HDAC inhibitor administration in models of acute CNS injury and discuss issues warranting clinical trials. We have previously shown that the pan-HDAC inhibitor ITF2357, a compound shown to be safe and effective in humans, improves functional recovery and attenuates tissue damage when administered as late as 24 h after injury. Using a well-characterized, clinically relevant mouse model of closed head injury, we demonstrated that a single dose of ITF2357 administered 24 h after injury improves neurobehavioral recovery and reduces tissue damage. ITF2357-induced functional improvement was found to be sustained up to 14 d after trauma and was associated with augmented histone acetylation. Single postinjury administration of ITF2357 also attenuated injury-induced inflammatory responses, as indicated by reduced glial accumulation and activation as well as enhanced caspase-3 expression within microglia/macrophages after treatment. Because no specific therapeutic intervention is currently available for treating brain trauma patients, the ability to affect functional outcome by postinjury administration of HDAC inhibitors within a clinically feasible timeframe may be of great importance. Furthermore, a growing body of evidence indicates that HDAC inhibitors are beneficial for treating various forms of acute CNS injury including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Because HDAC inhibitors are currently approved for other use, they represent a promising new avenue of treatment, and their use in the setting of CNS injury warrants clinical evaluation.
