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

Overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in the brain is an important mechanism involved in drug‑resistant epilepsy (DRE). High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), an inflammatory cytokine, significantly increases following seizures and may be involved in upregulation of P‑gp. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of HMGB1 and its downstream signaling components, receptor for advanced glycation end‑product (RAGE) and nuclear factor‑κB (NF‑κB), on P‑gp expression in rat brains during status epilepticus (SE). Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was administered to rats prior to induction of SE by pilocarpine, to block transcription of the genes encoding HMGB1 and RAGE, respectively. An inhibitor of NF‑κB, pyrrolidinedithiocarbamic acid (PDTC), was utilized to inhibit activation of NF‑κB. The expression levels of HMGB1, RAGE, phosphorylated‑NF‑κB p65 (p‑p65) and P‑gp were detected by western blotting. The relative mRNA expression levels of the genes encoding these proteins were measured using reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and the cellular localization of the proteins was determined by immunofluorescence. Pre‑treatment with HMGB1 siRNA reduced the expression levels of RAGE, p‑p65 and P‑gp. PDTC reduced the expression levels of P‑gp. These findings suggested that overexpression of P‑gp during seizures may be regulated by HMGB1 via the RAGE/NF‑κB signaling pathway, and may be a novel target for treating DRE.
