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

Aquaporin 9 (AQP9), an aquaglyceroporin, is an important aquaporin in the brain. This study examined the expression patterns of AQP9 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) in ischaemic brains from rats with permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) to elucidate the function and regulation of AQP9 after ischaemia. AQP9 was co-localised with glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive astrocytes and neuronal nuclei-positive neurons in rat brains. Expression of AQP9 increased continuously until 24 h after pMCAO in the ischaemic core region and the border region. Importantly, this increase in expression of AQP9 correlated with brain oedema. AQP9 expression was predominant in astrocytes within 3 h after pMCAO and then in neurons 6 h after pMCAO. Phosphorylated p38 MAPK was also induced in the ischaemic core region and the border region at different time points after pMCAO. Interestingly, intracerebroventricular injection of the p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 attenuated AQP9 expression after pMCAO. Taken together, these results indicate that dynamic changes in AQP9 expression, mediated in part via the p38 MAPK signal transduction pathway, may contribute to the development of cerebral oedema after brain ischaemia.
