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

Following ischemic stroke, blood-brain barrier (BBB) is disrupted and is further aggravated with the corresponding incidence of hyperlipidemia. BBB breakdown promotes inflammation infiltration into the brain, which exacerbates cerebral ischemic injury as a result. Here, we report that 10-O-(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)-ginkgolide B methanesulfonate (XQ-1H), a novel analog of ginkgolide B, alleviates BBB breakdown in hyperlipidemic rats and protects endothelial cells against inflammatory response. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) modeled ischemic stroke in rats. Before surgery, these rats were fed a cholesterol-rich diet to induce an experimental hyperlipidemic condition. Additionally, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) incubation with rat brain microvessel endothelial cells (rBMECs) was applied to mimic hyperlipidemia-induced inflammatory injury of BBB. The results indicated more severe infarct size, increased BBB permeability, excessive secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and exaggerated inflammation infiltration of the brain in hyperlipidemic rats following MCAO when compared to rats fed with normal diet. XQ-1H protected BBB integrity, lessoned brain edema and inflammation penetration, downregulated MMP-9 and VCMA-1 expressions, and extenuated ischemic infarction. XQ-1H alleviated LPS-induced inflammatory response in rBMECs, characterized by promoting cell viability, inhibiting TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 releasing, and downregulating NF-κB inflammatory signal and downstream proteins, such as VCAM-1 and iNOS. In conclusion, the present study shows that XQ-1H stabilizes BBB function following ischemic stroke in hyperlipidemic rats, and the possible mechanisms may be related to inflammation inhibition.
