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

Excitotoxicity is known to modulate the nuclear accumulation, and thus activity state, of histone deacetylases (HDACs) in pyramidal neurons. In the retina, deregulation in activity and expression of different HDACs has been linked to pathological conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa, retinal ischemia, glaucoma, and acute optic nerve injury. Up to now, however, the effects of in vivo excitotoxicity on the different HDACs in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) have not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we injected adult mice intravitreally with N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) as a mean to trigger excitotoxicity-mediated RGC degeneration and we detected time-dependent loss of RGCs at 1 and 7 days after the insult. Further, we characterized the subcellular localization of HDACs belonging to class I (HDAC1, HDAC3), IIa (HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC7, HDAC9), IIb (HDAC6, HDAC10), and IV (HDAC11) in RGCs. Our analyses revealed a differential pattern of HDACs nuclear distribution in RGCs following excitotoxicity. After 1 day, HDAC3, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7, and HDAC11 showed altered subcellular localization in RGCs while 7 days after the excitotoxic insult, HDAC4 and HDAC9 were the only HDACs displaying changes in their subcellular distribution. Moreover, we found that in vivo selective inhibition of HDAC1/3 or HDAC4/5 via MS-275 (entinostat) or LMK-235, respectively, could prevent ongoing RGC degeneration. In conclusion, our results point towards a role of HDACs in RGC degeneration and identify HDAC1/3 and HDAC4/5 as potential therapeutic targets to treat degenerative retinal diseases.
