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

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption contributes to neurodegenerative diseases. Loss of tight junction (TJ) proteins in cerebral endothelial cells (ECs) is a leading cause of BBB breakdown. We recently reported that miR-195 provides vasoprotection, which urges us to explore the role of miR-195 in BBB integrity. Here, we found cerebral miR-195 levels decreased with age, and BBB leakage was significantly increased in miR-195 knockout mice. Furthermore, exosomes from miR-195-enriched astrocytes increased endothelial TJ proteins and improved BBB integrity. To decipher how miR-195 promoted BBB integrity, we first demonstrated that TJ proteins were metabolized via autophagic-lysosomal pathway and the autophagic adaptor p62 was necessary to promote TJ protein degradation in cerebral ECs. Next, proteomic analysis of exosomes revealed miR-195-suppressed thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) as a major contributor to BBB disruption. Moreover, TSP1 was demonstrated to activate selective autophagy of TJ proteins by increasing the formation of claudin-5-p62 and ZO1-p62 complexes in cerebral ECs while TSP1 impaired general autophagy. Delivering TSP1 antibody into the circulation showed dose-dependent reduction of BBB leakage by 20%-40% in 25-month-old mice. Intravenous or intracerebroventricular injection of miR-195 rescued TSP1-induced BBB leakage. Dementia patients with BBB damage had higher levels of serum TSP1 compared to those without BBB damage (p = 0.0015), while the normal subjects had the lowest TSP1 (p < 0.0001). Taken together, the study implies that TSP1-regulated selective autophagy facilitates the degradation of TJ proteins and weakens BBB integrity. An adequate level of miR-195 can suppress the autophagy-lysosome pathway via a reduction of TSP1, which may be important for maintaining BBB function.
