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

objectiveWidely used in anesthesia, ketamine is reported to induce neurotoxicity in patients. This study aimed to investigate the molecular regulatory mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) KCNQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (KCNQ1OT1) in ameliorating ketamine-induced neural injury. MATERIALS AND

methodsSprague-Dawley rats were intraperitoneally injected with ketamine to induce neuronal injury. PC-12 cells treated with ketamine were used as the cell model. Ketamine-induced aberrant expression of KCNQ1OT1, miR-206 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The effects of KCNQ1OT1 and miR-206 on ketamine-induced neural injury in PC-12 cells were then examined by MTT and LDH assay. The regulatory relationships between KCNQ1OT1 and miR-206, and miR-206 and BDNF were detected by dual-luciferase reporter assay.

resultsKetamine induced the apoptosis of neurons of the hippocampus in rats, and the apoptosis of PC-12 cells, accompanied by down-regulation of KCNQ1OT1 and BDNF expressions, and up-regulation of miR-206 expression. Overexpression of KCNQ1OT1 enhanced the resistance to apoptosis of PC-12 cells and significantly ameliorated ketamine-induced nerve injury, while transfection of miR-206 had opposite effects. Mechanistically, KCNQ1OT1 could target miR-206 and reduce its expression level, in turn indirectly increase the expression level of BDNF, and play a protective role in neural injury.

conclusionKCNQ1OT1/miR-206/BDNF axis is demonstrated to be an important regulatory mechanism in regulating ketamine-induced neural injury. Our study helps to clarify the mechanism by which ketamine exerts its toxicological effects and provides clues for the neuroprotection during anesthesia.
