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

Secondary brain damage caused by hyperactivation of autophagy and inflammatory responses in neurons plays an important role in hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Although previous studies have implicated Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) in the neuroinflammatory response elicited by brain injury, the role and mechanisms of the TLR4-mediated autophagy signaling pathway in neonatal HIBD are still unclear. We hypothesized that this pathway can regulate brain damage by modulating neuron autophagy and neuroinflammation in neonatal rats with HIBD. Hence, we established a neonatal HIBD rat model using the Rice-Vannucci method, and injected 0.75, 1.5, or 3 mg/kg of the TLR4 inhibitor resatorvid (TAK-242) 30 minutes after hypoxic ischemia. Our results indicate that administering TAK-242 to neonatal rats after HIBD could significantly reduce the infarct volume and the extent of cerebral edema, alleviate neuronal damage and neurobehavioral impairment, and decrease the expression levels of TLR4, phospho-NF-κB p65, Beclin-1, microtubule-associated protein l light chain 3, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-1β in the hippocampus. Thus, TAK-242 appears to exert a neuroprotective effect after HIBD by inhibiting activation of autophagy and the release of inflammatory cytokines via inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. This study was approved by the Laboratory Animal Ethics Committee of Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University, China (approval No. 20180114-15) on January 14, 2018.
