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

Sirtuins (Sirt) are a family of NAD+ dependent histone deacetylase (HDAC) proteins implicated in aging, cell cycle regulation, and metabolism. These proteins are involved in the epigenetic modification of neuromodulatory proteins after strokevia acetylation/deacetylation. The specific role of Sirt3, a mitochondrial sirtuin, in post-stroke injury has been relatively unexplored. Using male Sirt3 knockout (KO) mice and wild-type littermates (WT), we show that Sirt3 KO mice show significant neuroprotection at 3 days after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) or stroke injury. The deacetylation activity of Sirt3, measured as the amount of reduced acetylated lysine, was increased after stroke. Stroke-induced increases in liver kinase 1 (LKB1) activity were also reduced in KO mice at 3 days after stroke. On further investigation, we found that the levels of Sirt1, another important member of the Sirtuin family, were increased in the brains of Sirt3 KO mice after stroke. To determine the translational relevance of these findings, we then tested the effects of pharmacological inhibition of Sirt3. We found no benefit of Sirt3 inhibition despite clear evidence of deacetylation. Overall, these data suggest that Sirt3 KO mice show neuroprotection by a compensatory rise in Sirt1 rather than the loss of Sirt3 after stroke. Further analysis reveals that the beneficial effects of Sirt1 might be mediated by a decrease in LKB1 activity after stroke. Finally, our data clearly demonstrate the importance of using both pharmacological and genetic methods in pre-clinical stroke studies.
