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 interferon regulatory factor (IRF) family was first discovered as a set of transcriptional regulators of the type I interferon system in 1988. In mammals, the IRF family includes nine members that play important roles in the immune system, oncogenesis, and apoptosis. However, the distribution and the function of IRF6 in the central nervous system are limited. In this study, we established an adult rat traumatic brain injury (TBI) model. Compared to the sham brain cortex, Western blot and immunohistochemistry showed significant upregulation of IRF6 in the ipsilateral brain cortex after TBI. Immunofluorescence double-labeling showed that IRF6 completely co-localized with neurons, not astrocytes or oligodendrocytes. Furthermore, we detected that the neuronal apoptosis marker active caspase-3 co-localized with IRF6 in neurons. Additionally, IRF6 knockdown in PC12 cells in vitro resulted in a decrease in active caspase-3 expression and an increase in Bcl-2 and p-Akt expression. We conclude that IRF6 might promote neuronal apoptosis by inhibiting Akt phosphorylation after TBI.
