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

Recent studies have shown that after traumatic brain injury (TBI), the number of autophagosomes is markedly increased in brain cells surrounding the wound; however, whether autophagy is enhanced or suppressed by TBI remains controversial. In our study, we used a controlled cortical impact system to establish models of mild, moderate and severe TBI. In the mild TBI model, the levels of autophagy-related protein 6 (Beclin1) and autophagy-related protein 12 (ATG12)-autophagy-related protein 5 (ATG5) conjugates were increased, indicating the enhanced initiation of autophagy. Furthermore, the level of the autophagic substrate sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) was decreased in the ipsilateral cortex. This result, together with the results observed in tandem mRFP-GFP-LC3 adeno-associated virus (AAV)-infected mice, indicates that autophagosome clearance was also increased after mild TBI. Conversely, following moderate and severe TBI, there was no change in the initiation of autophagy, and autophagosome accumulation was observed. Next, we used chloroquine (CQ) to artificially impair autophagic flux in the injured cortex of the mild TBI model and found that the severity of trauma was obviously exacerbated. In addition, autophagic flux and trauma severity were significantly improved in adenosine A
