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

backgroundSubarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), an acute cerebrovascular accident, features with its high death and disability rate. Sirtuin3 (SIRT3) is a NAD+ dependent deacetylase which mainly located in mitochondria. Reduced SIRT3 function was indicated to involve in many disorders of central nervous system. Herein, we aimed to explore the neuroprotective effects of SIRT3 on SAH and to furtherly explore the underlying mechanisms.

methodsAdult C57BL/6 J male mice (8-10 weeks) were used to establish SAH models. The pharmacological agonist of SIRT3, Honokiol (HKL), was injected in an intraperitoneal manner (10 mg/kg) immediately after the operation. Brain edema and neurobehavioral score were assessed. Nissl staining and FJC staining were used to evaluate the extent of neuronal damage. The changes of mitochondria morphology were observed with transmission electron microscopy. Western blot was used for analyzing the protein level of SIRT3 and the downstream signaling molecules.

resultSIRT3 was downregulated after SAH, and additional treatment of SIRT3 agonist HKL alleviated brain edema and neurobehavioral deficits after SAH. Additionally, electron microscopy showed that HKL significantly alleviated the morphological damage of mitochondria induced by SAH. Further studies showed that HKL could increase the level of mitochondrial fusion protein Mfn1 and Mfn2, thus maintaining (mitochondrial morphology), protecting mitochondrial function and promoting neural survival. While, additional Compound C (CC) treatment, a selective AMPK inhibitor, abolished these protective effects.

conclusionsActivation of SIRT3 protects against SAH injury through improving mitochondrial fusion in an AMPK dependent manner.
