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

aimsHypertension is a leading cause of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Currently, treatments for CSVD are limited. Nicotinamide riboside (NR) can protect against vascular injury and cognitive impairment in neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, the protective effects of NR against angiotensin - (Ang -)-induced CSVD were evaluated.

methodsTo explore the effects of NR in CSVD, C57BL/6 mice were infused with Ang -, and NR was added to the food of the mice for 28 days. Then, short-term memory, blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, and endothelial function were detected. Arteriole injury and glial activation were also evaluated.

resultsOur data showed that mice infused with Ang - exhibited decreased short-term memory function and BBB leakage due to decreased claudin-5 expression and increased caveolae-mediated endocytosis after 28 days. Furthermore, Ang - decreased the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and increased the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in arterioles and decreased the expression of neurofilament 200 (NF200) and myelin basic protein (MBP) in the white matter. These CSVD-related damages induced by Ang - were inhibited by NR administration. Moreover, NR administration significantly reduced glial activation around the vessels.

conclusionOur results indicated that NR administration alleviated Ang --induced CSVD by protecting BBB integrity, vascular remodeling, neuroinflammation, and white matter injury (WMI)-associated cognitive impairment.
