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

Ticagrelor is a direct acting and reversibly binding P2Y12 antagonist approved for the prevention of thromboembolic events. Its potential benefits in ischemic stroke have not been investigated sufficiently. Mice were subjected to 2 hours of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Mice were orally treated with ticagrelor (10 or 30 mg/kg), aspirin (60 mg/kg), or vehicle at 3 and 24 hours before MCAO and 0 and 6 hours after reperfusion. The infarct volume and neurological deficits 22 hours after reperfusion were evaluated. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) within 24 hours after MCAO was monitored. We performed western blotting and in vitro analysis using oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) stress in human brain microvessel endothelial cells (HBMVECs) to investigate the protective effects of ticagrelor. Ticagrelor (30 mg/kg) improved neurological deficits, reduced the infarct volume, and improved CBF. It promoted the phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) during the early phase after reperfusion. Increased phosphorylation of eNOS and ERK1/2 were also observed in HBMVECs after OGD stress. Ticagrelor attenuate ischemia reperfusion injury possibly via phosphorylation of eNOS and ERK1/2 in endothelial cells. This suggests that ticagrelor has neuroprotective effects via mechanisms other than its antiplatelet action.
