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

The MAPK/ERK/p38 are signal transduction pathways that couple intracellular responses to the external stimuli. Contrary to ERK protein which is part of the survival route, presence of p38 could have an impact on cell injury. Tolerance induced by ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a phenomenon of tissue adaptation, which results in increased tolerance to lethal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Paper describes changes in MAPK protein pathways after brain IPC. Ischemia was induced by 4-vessels occlusion and rats were preconditioned by sub-lethal ischemia. Western blot and immunohistochemistry identified ERK/p38 proteins in injured areas. The highest level of the pERK was detected at 24 h in IPC groups. A contrary pattern of MAPK/p38 activation was observed in this group, where the lowest level of p38 was displayed at 24 h after ischemia. This suggests that the MAPK signal transduction might have a potential role in tissues response subjected to IRI and in the phenomenon of tolerance.
