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

Neuronal apoptosis chiefly contributes to the cell loss following traumatic brain injury (TBI). CGP3466B is a compound related to the anti-Parkinsonism drug R-(-)-deprenyl. Previous studies have illuminated anti-apoptosis effects of CGP3466B in different cell lines, but the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Mammalian sterile 20 (STE20)-like kinase1 (Mst1) is a core component of the Hippo signaling pathway. Protein-L-isoaspartate (D-aspartate) O-methyltransferase (PCMT1) is an enzyme that repairs damaged L-isoaspartyl residues in proteins. The present study was performed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of CGP3466B and to determine a potential PCMT1/Mst1 neuronal anti-apoptotic pathway after TBI. Double immunofluorescence staining demonstrated that PCMT1 and Mst1 are co-located in neurons. Administration of CGP3466B improved neurological function, downregulated the ROS level and alleviated brain edema at 24 h after TBI. CGP3466B alleviates neuronal apoptosis by increasing PCMT1 expression and subsequently inhibiting MST1 activation, resulting in changing the expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2 and active-caspase3. The TUNEL staining results also support the anti-apoptosis effects of CGP3466B. The anti-apoptotic effects of CGP3466B were abolished by chelerythrine, an Mst1 activator, without changing PCMT1 levels. In conclusion, our findings suggest CGP3466B may have a promising therapeutic potential by modulating PCMT1/Mst1 signaling pathway after TBI injury.
