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

Recent studies have reported widespread stimulus-dependent transcription of mammalian enhancers into noncoding enhancer RNAs (eRNAs), some of which have central roles in the enhancer-mediated induction of target genes and modulation of phenotypic outcomes during development and disease. In cerebral ischemia, the expression and functions of eRNAs are virtually unknown. Here, we applied genome-wide H3K27ac ChIP-seq and genome-wide RNA-seq to identify enhancer elements and stroke-induced eRNAs, respectively, in the mouse cerebral cortex during transient focal ischemia. Following a 1-h middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and 6 h of reperfusion, we identified 77 eRNAs that were significantly upregulated in stroke as compared to sham, of which 55 were exclusively expressed in stroke. The knockdown of two stroke-induced eRNAs in the mouse brain resulted in significantly larger infarct volumes as compared to controls, suggesting that these eRNAs are involved in the post-stroke neuroprotective response. A preliminary comparison of eRNA expression in the male versus female cortices revealed sex-dependent patterns that may underlie the physiological differences in response to stroke between the two sexes. Together, this study is the first to illuminate the eRNA landscape in the post-stroke cortex and demonstrate the significance of an eRNA in modulating post-stroke cortical brain damage.
