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

backgroundMicroglia activation is associated with the development of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI). Neuroinflammation suppression might be a suitable therapeutic target in hypoxic oligodendrocyte injury. This study aims to determine whether clemastine can improve hypomyelination by suppressing the activated microglia and promoting the maturation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in HIBI.

methodsA bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO) rat model that received continuous intraperitoneal injection (1 mg/kg) for 14 days was employed to elaborate the neuroprotection effects of clemastine. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), histamine H1 receptor, and OPC differentiation levels in the corpus callosum were measured. Primary cultured OPCs and co-culture of microglia and OPCs were used to explore the link between microglia activation and hypomyelination. Data were evaluated by one-way ANOVA with Fisher's protected least significant difference test.

resultsClemastine treatment could reverse hypomyelination and restrain the upregulation of IL-1β and NLRP3 in the corpus callosum of BCCAO rats. Primary cultured OPCs treated with IL-1β showed failed maturation. However, clemastine could also reverse the OPC maturation arrest by activating the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway. Co-culture of microglia and OPCs with oxygen glucose deprivation treatment exhibited IL-1β and NLRP3 upregulation. Clemastine could downregulate NLRP3 and IL-1β and reverse hypomyelination by inhibiting the p38 signaling pathway.

conclusionsClemastine could restrain microglia activation, improve axonal hypomyelination in BCCAO rats, and thus might be a viable strategy to inhibit hypomyelination in the corpus callosum of patients with HIBI.
