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

Clasmatodendrosis is an autophagic astroglial death showing extensive swollen cell bodies with vacuoles and disintegrated/beaded processes. This astroglial degeneration is closely relevant to the synchronous epileptiform discharges. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms and the roles of clasmatodendrosis in spontaneous seizure activity are still unknown. The 2-cyano-3,12-dioxo-oleana-1,9(11)-dien-28-oic acid methyl ester (CDDO-Me; RTA 402) is one of the activators for nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) that is a redox-sensitive transcription factor. In the present study, we explored the effects of CDDO-Me on clasmatodendrosis in chronic epilepsy rats, which could prevent epilepsy-related complications. In the present study, clasmatodendritic astrocytes showed reduced Nrf2 expression and its nuclear accumulation, which were restored by CDDO-Me. CDDO-Me also abrogated heat shock protein 25 (HSP25) upregulation in clasmatodendritic astrocytes by regulating extracellular signal-related kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2)-specificity protein 1 (SP1)- and Src-casein kinase 2 (CK2)-phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN)-phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT-glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β)-bax-interacting factor 1 (Bif-1)-mediated signaling pathways in chronic epilepsy rats. In addition, CDDO-Me ameliorated spontaneous seizure duration, but not seizure frequency and behavioral seizure severity. Therefore, our findings suggest that clasmatodendrosis may affect seizure duration in chronic epilepsy rats, and that CDDO-Me may attenuate autophagic astroglial degeneration by regulating various signaling pathways.
