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

Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), the cytochrome P450 epoxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid, have been demonstrated to have neuroprotective effect. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are thought to be important factors that mediate neuroprotection. However, little is known about the role of PI3K/Akt and KATP channels in brain after EETs administration. In vitro experiment, oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) was performed in cultured rat cerebral microvascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) for 4 h. The effect of 14,15-EET on OGD induced cell apoptosis was examined after reoxygenation. Western blot and real-time PCR were used to analyze the expression of Kir6.1, SUR2B (two subunits of KATP channels) and p-Akt on cerebral microvascular SMCs. In vivo experiments, we use 12-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido)-dodecanoic acid [AUDA, a specific soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitor] to confirm the effect of EETs indirectly. Rats were injected intraperitoneally with AUDA before being subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). We detected the apoptosis and the expression of p-Akt, Kir6.1 and SUR2B in ischemic penumbra. The results showed that EETs protect against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and upregulated the expression of p-Akt and Kir6.1 in both of ischemic penumbra and OGD induced cerebral microvascular SMCs. The protective effect was inhibited by Wortmannin (a specific PI3K inhibitor) and Glib (a specific KATP inhibitor) respectively in vitro experiment. In conclusion, these results suggested that the protective effect of EETs on cerebral I/R injury is associated with PI3K/Akt pathway and KATP channels. Furthermore, the PI3K pathway may contribute to mediating KATP channels on cerebral microvascular SMCs.
