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 commonly used volatile anesthetic sevoflurane has been shown to induce widespread apoptosis in the developing brain, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Accumulating research has demonstrated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate multiple biological processes, including neural development, differentiation and apoptosis. They are aberrantly expressed in multiple neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we employed a lncRNA-mRNA microarray analysis to determine whether and how lncRNAs are involved in sevoflurane-induced hippocampal neuronal apoptosis in neonatal mice. Our data showed that a single 6-h sevoflurane exposure of P7 mice resulted in significant morphological changes and apoptosis in the hippocampus. Moreover, the microarray simultaneously revealed 817 lncRNAs and 856 of their potential coding targets that related to apoptosis, of which 31 lncRNAs (19 up and 12 down) and 25 mRNAs were significantly differentially expressed (P < 0.05) after sevoflurane exposure. Importantly, we found that Bcl2l11 (BIM), which potentiates mitochondria-dependent apoptosis and its nearby enhancer-like lncRNA ENSMUST00000136025, were both more highly expressed in sevoflurane-treated samples compared with control samples. Subsequent qRT-PCR results confirmed the changes. Further CNC network indicated that lncRNA ENSMUST00000136025 was positively correlated with Bim. Moreover, sevoflurane induced a significant increase of pro-apoptotic protein BIM and Bax but a reduction of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 in the hippocampus. Our study first demonstrates that aberrantly expressed lncRNAs play a role in sevoflurane-induced hippocampal apoptosis. We noted that up-regulated ENSMUST00000136025 highly likely induced the over-expression of BIM, which eventually promoted mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Such findings further broaden the understanding of molecular mechanisms responsible for sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity.
