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

backgroundThe T cell Ig domain and mucin domain (TIM)-1 protein expressed on the surface of Th2 cells regulates the immune response by modulating cytokine production. The present study aimed to investigate the role and possible mechanism of TIM-1 in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

methodsWestern blot was used to detect TIM-1 and apoptosis-related protein expression, whereas TIM-1 mRNA was examined using quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR. Flow cytometry and a TdT-mediated biotin-16-dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay were used to detect the percentage of apoptotic cells and a pathological examination was performed. The migration of neutrophils and macrophages was analyzed by immunohistochemistry.

resultsOur results suggest that TIM-1 expression was transiently increased 24 h or 48 h following middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)/reperfusion. The infarct size was markedly increased in MCAO, whereas treatment with a TIM-1-blocking mAb could reduce the infarct size. TIM-1 blocking mAb effectively reduced the number of neutrophils, macrophage functionality, cytokine (i.e., IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α) and chemokine (i.e., CXCL-1 and CXCL-2) production in the brain tissue. The effect of in vitro T cell damage on neurons was significantly reduced following treatment with a TIM-1 blocking mAb or the knockdown of TIM-1 in co-cultured T cells and neurons.

conclusionTake together, these results indicated that TIM-1 blockade ameliorated cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Thus, TIM-1 disruption may serve as a novel target for therapy following MCAO.
