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

Ischemic stroke not only induces neuron death in the infarct area but also structural and functional damage of the surviving neurons in the surrounding peri-infarct area. In the present study, we first identified cofilin rod, a pathological rod-like aggregation, formed in neurons of in vivo ischemic stroke animal model and induced neuronal impairment. Cofilin rods formed only on the ipsilateral side of the middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO-R) rat brain and showed the highest density in peri-infarct area. Our real-time live cell imaging, immunostaining and patch clamp studies showed that cofilin rod formation in neurons led to dendritic mitochondrial transportation failure, as well as impairment of synaptic structure and functions. Overexpression of LIM kinase or activation of its upstream regulator Rho, suppressed ischemia-induced cofilin rod formation and showed protective effect on synaptic function and structure impairment in both cultured neurons and MCAO-R rat model. In summary, our results demonstrate a novel mechanism of ischemic stroke-induced neuron injury in peri-infarct area and provide a potential target for the protection of neuronal structure and function against brain ischemia insult.
