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

Early brain injury (EBI) occurred after aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) strongly determined the patients' prognosis. Autophagy was activated in neurons in the acute phase after SAH, while its role in EBI has not been examined. This study was designed to explore the effects of autophagy on EBI post-SAH in rats. A modified endovascular perforating SAH model was established under monitoring of intracranial pressure. Extent of autophagy was regulated by injecting autophagy-regulating drugs (3-methyladenine, wortmannin and rapamycin) 30 min pre-SAH intraventricularly. Simvastatin (20 mg/kg) was prophylactically orally given 14 days before SAH induction. Mortality, neurological scores, brain water content and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability were evaluated at 24 h post-SAH. Microtubule-associated protein light chain-3 (LC3 II/I) and beclin-1 were detected for monitoring of autophagy flux. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated biotinylated UTP nick end labeling, expression of cleaved caspase-3 and cytoplasmic histone-associated DNA fragments were used to detect apoptosis. The results showed that mortality was reduced in rapamycin and simvastatin treated animals. When autophagy was inhibited by 3-methyladenine and wortmannin, the neurological scores were decreased, brain water content and BBB permeability were further aggravated and neuronal apoptosis was increased when compared with the SAH animals. Autophagy was further activated by rapamycin and simvastatin, and apoptosis was inhibited and EBI was ameliorated. The present results indicated that activation of autophagy decreased neuronal apoptosis and ameliorated EBI after SAH. Aiming at autophagy may be a potential effective target for preventing EBI after SAH.
