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

Accidents are the cause of some 50 deaths per 100,000 population each year; some 3% of these are from traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), a damage that causes temporary or permanent motor deficits, often leading to permanent neurological alterations. The activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) as DNA damage response, together with autophagy and apoptosis processes contributes to the secondary injury processes seen after SCI. Thus, in the present study, a mouse compression model of SCI was used to determine whether the treatment with ABT888, as PARP-1/2 inhibitor, could restore the neuronal damage induced by SCI. Mice were orally administered with ABT888 (at a dose of 25 mg/kg) 1 h and 6 h after SCI induction. Histological analysis, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and Basso Mouse scale (BMS) were performed. The expression of autophagy-related proteins and apoptosis-inducing factors was quantified in the cytosolic fraction from spinal cord tissue collected after 24 h after SCI. TUNEL assay was performed in SCI-tissues 24 h after damage. ABT888 treatment significantly reduced histological damage and neutrophilic infiltration, improving motor skills. PARP-1/2 inhibition by ABT888 slowed cell death, decreasing autophagy-activation proteins. These results showed that ABT888, inhibiting PARP-1/2 activity, through a reduction in the apoptosis-autophagy machinery, plays a protective role after SCI, suggesting a new insight into the potential application of ABT888 as novel candidate in SCI therapies.
