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

Stroke is a leading threat to human life and health in the US and around the globe, while very few effective treatments are available for stroke patients. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is a potential treatment for stroke. Using novel neurotensin receptor 1 (NTR1) agonists, we have demonstrated pharmacologically induced hypothermia and protective effects against brain damages after ischemic stroke, hemorrhage stroke, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rodent models. To further characterize the mechanism of TH-induced brain protection, we examined the effect of TH (at ±33°C for 6h) induced by the NTR1 agonist HPI-201 or physical (ice/cold air) cooling on inflammatory responses after ischemic stroke in mice and oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) in cortical neuronal cultures. Seven days after focal cortical ischemia, microglia activation in the penumbra reached a peak level, which was significantly attenuated by TH treatments commenced 30min after stroke. The TH treatment decreased the expression of M1 type reactive factors including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-12, IL-23, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) measured by RT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Meanwhile, TH treatments increased the expression of M2 type reactive factors including IL-10, Fizz1, Ym1, and arginase-1. In the ischemic brain and in cortical neuronal/BV2 microglia cultures subjected to OGD, TH attenuated the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), two key chemokines in the regulation of microglia activation and infiltration. Consistently, physical cooling during OGD significantly decreased microglia migration 16h after OGD. Finally, TH improved functional recovery at 1, 3, and 7days after stroke. This study reveals the first evidence for hypothermia mediated regulation on inflammatory factor expression, microglia polarization, migration and indicates that the anti-inflammatory effect is an important mechanism underlying the brain protective effects of a TH therapy.
