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

Platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFR-β) has been reported to promote phenotypic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the PDGFR-β/IRF9/SIRT-1/NF-κB pathway in VSMC phenotypic transformation after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). SAH was induced using the endovascular perforation model in Sprague-Dawley rats. PDGFR-β small interfering RNA (siRNA) and IRF9 siRNA were injected intracerebroventricularly 48 h before SAH. SIRT1 activator (resveratrol) and inhibitor (EX527) were administered intraperitoneally 1 h after SAH induction. Twenty-four hours after SAH, the VSMC contractile phenotype marker α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) decreased, whereas the VSMC synthetic phenotype marker embryonic smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (Smemb) increased. Both PDGFR-β siRNA and IRF9 siRNA attenuated the induction of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and enhanced the expression of α-SMA. The SIRT1 activator (resveratrol) preserved VSMC contractile phenotype, significantly alleviated neurological dysfunction, and reduced brain edema. However, these beneficial effects of PDGFR-β siRNA, IRF9 siRNA and resveratrol were abolished by the SIRT1 inhibitor (EX527). This study shows that PDGFR-β/IRF9/SIRT-1/NF-κB signaling played a role in the VSMC phenotypic transformation after SAH. Inhibition of this signaling cascade preserved the contractile phenotype of VSMCs, thereby improving neurological outcomes following SAH.
