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

Protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) is an important transmembrane protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). PERK signaling has a critical function in neuronal apoptosis. This work aimed to assess PERK signaling for its function in surgical brain injury (SBI) and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Totally 120 male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were assessed in an SBI model. The effects of the PERK inhibitor GSK2606414 were examined by Western-blot, immunofluorescent staining, TUNEL staining, fluoro-jade C (FJC) staining and neurological assays in rats with SBI. In this study, p-PERK and p-eIF2α protein amounts were increased upon SBI establishment, peaking at 24 h. Meanwhile, administration of GSK2606414 reversed these effects and prevented neuronal apoptosis. The PERK pathway has a significant function in neuronal apoptosis, and its suppression after SBI promotes the alleviation of brain injury. This suggests that targeting the PERK signaling pathway may represent an efficient therapeutic option for improving prognosis in SBI patients.
