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 angiogenesis is tightly controlled by specific microRNAs (miRs), including the miR-15a/16-1 cluster. Recently, we reported that endothelium-specific conditional knockout of the miR-15a/16-1 cluster (EC-miR-15a/16-1 cKO) promotes post-stroke angiogenesis and improves long-term neurological recovery by increasing protein levels of VEGFA, FGF2, and their respective receptors VEGFR2 and FGFR1. Herein, we further investigated the underlying signaling mechanism of these pro-angiogenic factors after ischemic stroke using a selective Src family inhibitor AZD0530. EC-miR-15a/16-1 cKO and age- and sex-matched wild-type littermate (WT) mice were subjected to 1 h middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and 28d reperfusion. AZD0530 was administered daily by oral gavage to both genotypes of mice 3-21d after MCAO. Compared to WT, AZD0530 administration exacerbated spatial cognitive impairments and brain atrophy in EC-miR-15a/16-1 cKO mice following MCAO. AZD0530 also attenuated long-term recovery of blood flow and inhibited the formation of new microvessels, including functional vessels with blood circulation, in the penumbra of stroked cKO mice. Moreover, AZD0530 blocked the Src signaling pathway by downregulating phospho-Src and its downstream mediators (p-Stat3, p-Akt, p-FAK, p-p44/42 MAPK, p-p38 MAPK) in post-ischemic brains. Collectively, our data demonstrated that endothelium-targeted deletion of the miR-15a/16-1 cluster promotes post-stroke angiogenesis and improves long-term neurological recovery via activating Src signaling pathway.
