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

Tenascin-C (TNC), a matricellular protein, is upregulated in brain parenchyma after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Recent studies emphasize that early brain injury (EBI) should be overcome to improve post-SAH outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of TNC knockout (TNKO) on neuronal apoptosis and neuroinflammation, both of which are important constituents of EBI after SAH. C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) mice or TNKO mice underwent sham or filament perforation SAH modeling. Twenty-five WT mice and 25 TNKO mice were randomly divided into sham+WT (n = 10), sham+TNKO (n = 8), SAH+WT (n = 15), and SAH+TNKO (n = 17) groups. Beam balance test, neurological score, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling staining, immunostaining of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and Western blotting were performed to evaluate neurobehavioral impairments, neuronal apoptosis, and neuroinflammation at 24 h post-SAH. Deficiency of TNC significantly alleviated post-SAH neurobehavioral impairments and neuronal apoptosis. The protective effects of TNKO on neurons were associated with the inhibition of a caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway, which was at least partly mediated by TLR4/nuclear factor-κB/interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 signaling cascades. This study first provided the direct evidence that TNC causes post-SAH neuronal apoptosis and neuroinflammation, potentially leading to the development of a new molecular targeted therapy against EBI.
