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

As research into periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) gradually increases, concerns are emerging about long‑term neuron injury. The present study aimed to investigate neuronal injury and the relevant alterations in apoptosis and autophagy in a PVL model established previously. A rat model of hypoxia‑ischemia‑induced PVL was established. In the model group, Sprague‑Dawley (SD) rats [postnatal day 3 (P3)] were subjected to right common carotid artery ligation followed by suturing and exposed to 6‑8% oxygen for 2 h; in the control group, SD rats (P3) were subjected to right common carotid artery dissection followed by suturing, without ligation and hypoxic exposure. At 1, 3, 7 and 14 days following modeling, brain tissue samples were collected and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Cellular apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay and the protein and mRNA expression alterations of neuronal nuclei (NeuN), caspase‑3 and Beclin 1 in the model group were detected by western blot analysis and reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) analyses. Compared with the control group, the protein and mRNA expression levels of NeuN (a marker of mature neurons) were markedly reduced, the number of positive cells was increased as detected by TUNEL, and the protein and mRNA expression levels of caspase‑3 and Beclin 1 were elevated in the model group. In the rat model of hypoxia‑ischemia‑induced PVL, oligodendrocyte injury and myelinization disorders were observed, in addition to neuron injury, a decrease in mature neurons and the co‑presence of apoptosis and autophagy. However, apoptosis and autophagy exist in different phases: Apoptosis is involved in neuron injury, while autophagy is likely to have a protective role.
