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

Cerebral ischemia results in severe brain damage, and is a leading cause of death and long-term disability. Previous studies have investigated methods to activate astrocytes in order to promote repair in injured brain tissue and inhibit cell death. It has previously been shown that N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) was highly expressed in astrocytes and associated with cell activity, but the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. The present study generated NDRG2 conditional knockout (Ndrg2-/-) mice to investigate whether NDRG2 can block ischemia-induced astrocyte necroptosis by suppressing receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) expression. This study investigated astrocyte activity in cerebral ischemia, and identified that ischemic brain injuries could trigger RIP-dependent astrocyte necroptosis. The depletion of NDRG2 was found to accelerate permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion-induced necroptosis in the brain tissue of Ndrg2-/- mice, indicating that NDRG2 may act as a neuroprotector during cerebral ischemic injury. The present study suggested that NDRG2 attenuated astrocytic cell death via the suppression of RIPK1. The pharmacological inhibition of astrocyte necroptosis by necrostatin-1 provided neuroprotection against ischemic brain injuries after NDRG2 knockdown. Therefore, NDRG2 could be considered as a potential target for the treatment of cerebral ischemia.
