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

Although there is an increment in stroke burden in the world, stroke therapeutic strategies are still extremely limited to a minority of patients. We previously demonstrated that dexmedetomidine (DEX) protects against focal cerebral ischemia via inhibiting neurons autophagy. Nevertheless, the role of DEX in regulating astrocytes autophagic status in oxygen-glucose deprivation, a condition that mimics cerebral ischemia, is still unknown. In this study, we have shown that DEX and DEX + RAPA (autophagy inducer) increased viability and reduced apoptosis of primary astrocytes in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model compared with DEX + 3-methyladenine (3-MA) (autophagy inhibitor). DEX induced the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and Beclin 1, while reduced the expression of p62 in primary cultured astrocytes through induction of autophagy. In addition, DEX enhanced the expression of tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2) in primary cultured astrocytes, while reduced the expression of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). In conclusion, our study suggests that DEX exerts a neuroprotection against OGD-induced astrocytes injury via activation of astrocytes autophagy by regulating the TSC2/mTOR signaling pathway, which provides a new insight into the mechanisms of DEX treatment for acute ischemic injury.
