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

Hypothermia is a physiological condition assuring brain protection against hypoxic-related damages. In this context, investigations carried out on the facultative hibernator Mesocricetus auratus proved to be very useful for establishing the type of neurosignaling role exerted by cerebral α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid receptor (AMPAR) subtypes during hypoxic/reperfusion injuries of the entrance (EN), torpor (TORP), and arousal (AROU) hibernating states. From the evaluation of the major AMPARs (GluR1 and GluR2), together with their scaffold proteins synapse-associated protein 97 kDa (SAP97) and PICK1, it resulted that GluR1 and SAP97 were mostly upregulated during the hypotensive (EN and TORP) states of the brainstem, amygdala, and hypothalamus, sites which are implicated with cardiovascular, motor, and sleep-wake events. In addition, elevated expression densities of the pro-apoptotic factor Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) resulted to be correlated to marked amino-cupric-silver stain signals during both hibernating states. Conversely, an increase of the neuroprotective factor GluR2, together with PICK1 and the anti-apoptotic B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), appeared to be linked with reduced argyrophilic signals in most of the above areas of the hypertensive AROU state. These first indications highlight distinct protective/degenerative measures of the above factors constituting key on/off switches during the various hibernating states that may provide potential therapeutic bearings on sleeping disorders.
