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 p38α, also named Mapk14, is a pro-apoptotic protein, which is reported to be downregulated 2 h after cerebral ischemia. However, little is known what causes the downregulation of p38α protein level. Here, we studied the effect of cerebral ischemia on p38α mRNA expression and p38α protein level in brain of mice. We found that p38α protein level is reduced after middle cerebral artery occlusion. However, at the meantime, p38α mRNA expression has no detectable changes, suggesting that the possible posttranscription is regulated by ischemia. To reveal the mechanism for posttranscription of p38α protein, we tested the effect of miR-128-3p. Using luciferase reporter assay, we found that miR-128-3p could directly target p38α 3'UTR. We further tested the effect of miR-128-3p on the p38α protein level. We found that miR-128-3p strongly decreased the p38α protein level in SH-SY5Y cells after the cells were transfected with miR-128-3p using lentivirus vector containing precursor its RNA sequences. We further found that inhibition of miR-128-3p enhanced the infarct volume of brain in mice. Our study thus confirms that miR-128-3p can downregulate p38α protein level through posttranscription and increase of miR-128-3p level may contribute to neuronal survival in ischemia-induced brain injury.
