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

URB597 (URB) has therapeutic potential for treating chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH)-induced neuronal death. The present study investigated the protective effects of URB on autopahgy and mitophagy in a CCH model as well as the underlying mechanisms. The ultrastructural changes were examined by electron microscopy. The mitochondrial membrane potential was assessed by immunofluorescence. The expressions of autophagy-related proteins (beclin-1, p62, and LC3), lysosome-related proteins (CTSD and LAMP1), and mitophagy-related proteins (BNIP3, cyt C and parkin) were evaluated by western blotting, and the interaction of beclin-1 and Bcl-2 were determined by immunoprecipitation. CCH significantly decreased the protein expression of p62, CTSD, and LAMP1 and increased the protein expression of beclin-1, parkin, and BNIP3, the LC3-II to LC3-I ratio, and the release of cyt C from mitochondria to cytoplasm. Furthermore, CCH induced the accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins in PSDs. However, URB significantly reversed these results. Besides, URB significantly inhibited the beclin-1 from beclin-1/Bcl-2 complex to whole-cell lysates. The above results indicate that URB could inhibit impaired autophagy degradation and the disruption of beclin-1/Bcl-2 complex and subsequently cut off BNIP3-cyt C- and parkin-required mitophagy, finally preventing the abnormal excessive autophagy and mitophagy. These findings provide new insights that URB is a promising agent for therapeutic management of CCH.
