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

aimsTo examine a novel strategy to enhance the survival of grafted neural stem cells (NSCs) in stroke model.

methodsUsing a cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and TUNEL assay to test the protective effects of p53 inhibitor, pifithrin-α (PFT-α), on oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) in NSCs. We compared the effects of vehicle + NSCs and FFT-α + NSCs on the efficacy of transplantation in stroke rat model using behavioral analysis, immunohistochemistry, etc.

resultsPifithrin-α increased viability and decreased apoptosis in NSCs after OGD in vitro. By in vivo studies, we showed that the best recovery of neurological function in the stroke rats and the maximum survival of grafted NSCs were found in the PFT-α + NSCs group. Twelve hours after cell transplantation, p53 was localized to the nuclei of grafted NSCs in the vehicle + NSCs group but was primarily localized to the cytoplasm in the PFT-α + NSCs group. The p53-upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) was highly expressed among the grafted cells in the vehicle + NSCs group compared with that in the PFT-α + NSCs group.

conclusionOur results indicate that PFT-α enhances the survival of grafted NSCs through the inhibition of p53 translocation into the nucleus.
