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

FTY720 is a synthetic compound produced by modification of metabolite from Isaria sinclairii. It is a novel type of immunosuppressive agent inhibiting lymphocyte egress from secondary lymphoid tissues, thereby causing peripheral lymphopenia. Growing evidences have suggested that apoptosis and autophagy were involved in the secondary brain injury after traumatic brain injury (TBI) although FTY720 exerted neuroprotective effects in a variety of neurological diseases except TBI. The present study was aimed to investigate the role of FTY720 in a mouse model of TBI. In experiment 1, ICR mice were divided into four groups: sham group, TBI group, TBI + vehicle group, and TBI + FTY720 group. And the injured cerebral cortex (including both contused and penumbra) was used for analysis. We found that FTY720 administration after TBI improved neurobehavioral function, alleviated brain edema, accompanied by modulation of apoptotic indicators such as Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bax, and cytochrome c. In experiment 2, ICR mice were also divided into four groups: sham group, TBI + vehicle group, TBI + FTY720 group, and TBI + FTY720 + inhibitors group. And the injured cerebral cortex (including both contused and penumbra) was used for analysis. We found that FTY720 increased the expression of phospho-protein kinase B (AKT) and some autophagy markers such as LC3 and Beclin 1. In addition, the apoptosis inhibition effect of FTY720 was partly abrogated by the phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases (PI3K)/AKT pathway inhibitor LY294002 and autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine. Collectively, our data provide the first evidence that FTY720 exerted neuroprotective effects after TBI, at least in part, through the activation of PI3K/AKT pathway and autophagy.
