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

Transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) is a voltage-dependent, nonselective cation channel. Under pathological conditions, sustained activation of TRPM4 leads to oncotic cell death. Here, we report the upregulation of TRPM4 in vascular endothelium following hypoxia/ischemia in vitro and in vivo. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells, TRPM4 expression was increased at both the mRNA and protein levels following oxygen-glucose deprivation. Blocking TRPM4 with 9-phenanthrol greatly enhanced tube formation on Matrigel. In a rat permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion model, TRPM4 was upregulated in the vascular endothelium within the penumbra region after stroke. TRPM4 expression peaked 1 day post-occlusion and gradually decreased. In vivo siRNA-mediated TRPM4 silencing enhanced angiogenesis and improved capillary integrity. A twofold reduction in infarct volume and a substantial recovery of motor function were observed in animals receiving the siRNA treatment. Interestingly, the protective effect of TRPM4 suppression disappeared 5 days after stroke induction, indicating that TRPM4 upregulation is critical for cerebral damage during the acute phase of stroke. TRPM4 could be a potential therapeutic target for ischemic stroke.
