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

Ischemic stroke leads to cellular dysfunction, cell death, and devastating clinical outcomes. The cells of the brain react to such a cellular stress by a stress response with an upregulation of heat shock proteins resulting in activation of endogenous neuroprotective capacities. Several members of the family of small heat shock proteins (HspBs) have been shown to be neuroprotective. However, yet no systematic study examined all HspBs during cerebral ischemia. Here, we performed a comprehensive comparative study comprising all HspBs in an animal model of stroke, i.e., 1 h transient middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by 23 h of reperfusion. On the mRNA level out of the 11 HspBs investigated, HspB1/Hsp25, HspB3, HspB4/αA-crystallin, HspB5/αB-crystallin, HspB7/cvHsp, and HspB8/Hsp22 were significantly upregulated in the peri-infarct region of the cerebral cortex of infarcted hemispheres. HspB1 and HspB5 reached the highest mRNA levels and were also upregulated at the protein level, suggesting that these HspBs might be functionally most relevant. Interestingly, in the infarcted cortex, both HspB1 and HspB5 were mainly allocated to neurons and to a lesser extent to glial cells. Additionally, both proteins were found to be phosphorylated in response to ischemia. Our data suggest that among all HspBs, HspB1 and HspB5 might be most important in the neuronal stress response to ischemia/reperfusion injury in the brain and might be involved in neuroprotection.
