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

The 70-kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) is known to protect the brain from injury through multiple mechanisms. We investigated the effect of pharmacological HSP70 induction in experimental traumatic brain injury (TBI). 3-month-old male C57/B6 mice were given 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) intraperitoneally (IP, 2 mg/kg) or intracerebroventricularly (ICV, 1 μg/kg) to determine whether HSP70 could be induced in the brain. Mice were subjected to TBI via cortical controlled impact, and were treated with 17-AAG (or vehicle) IP according to one of two treatment regimens: (1) 2 mg/kg at the time of injury, (2) a total of three doses (4 mg/kg) at 2 and 1d prior to TBI and again at the time of injury. Brains were assessed for HSP70 induction, hemorrhage volume at 3 d, and lesion size at 14 d post-injury. Immunohistochemistry showed that both IP and ICV administration of 17-AAG increased HSP70 expression primarily in microglia and in a few neurons by 24 h but not in astrocytes. 17-AAG induced HSP70 in injured brain tissue as early as 6 h, peaking at 48 h and largely subsiding by 72 h after IP injection. Both treatment groups showed decreased hemorrhage volume relative to untreated mice as well as improved neurobehavioral outcomes. These observations indicate that pharmacologic HSP70 induction may prove to be a promising treatment for TBI.
