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

backgroundLimb remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) protects against brain injury induced by stroke, but the underlying protective mechanisms remain unknown. As hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) is neuroprotective in stroke and mediates neuroinflammation, we tested the hypothesis that HIF-1α is a key factor of RIPC against stroke by mediating inflammation. METHODS AND

resultsStroke was induced by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats, and RIPC was conducted in both hind limbs. The HIF-1α mRNA was examined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction after RIPC. In addition, inflammatory cytokines in the peripheral blood and brain were measured using the AimPlex multiplex immunoassays. Data showed that RIPC reduced the infarct size, improved neurological functions, and increased HIF-1α mRNA levels, interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-10 protein levels in the peripheral blood. Intraperitoneal injection of the HIF activator, dimethyloxaloylglycine, reduced the infarct size and inhibited interferon-γ protein levels, while promoting IL-4 and IL-10 protein levels, while decreasing interferon-γ protein levels in both the peripheral blood and ischemic brain. In addition, injection of dimethyloxaloylglycine had a synergistic effect with RIPC on reducing infarction and improving neurological functions, as well as decreasing interferon-γ in the peripheral blood and ischemic brain. In contrast, injection of the HIF inhibitor, acriflavine hydrochloride, abolished the protective effects of RIPC on infarction, and reduced IL-4 and IL-10 protein levels in both the peripheral blood and ischemic brain.

conclusionsWe conclude that HIF-1α plays a key role in RIPC, likely mediated by a systemic modulation of the inflammatory response.
