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

Brain inflammation induced by ischemic stroke is an important cause of secondary brain injury. The nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling are believed to drive the progression of brain inflammation. Spermatogenesis-associated protein2 (SPATA2) functions as a partner protein that recruits CYLD, a negative regulator of NF-κB signaling, to signaling complexes. However, the role of SPATA2 in the central nervous system remains unclear and whether it is involved in regulating inflammatory responses remains controversial. Rats were subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by reperfusion (tMCAO/R) surgery. The expression and localization of SPATA2 in the brain were investigated. The lentivirus-mediated shRNA was employed to inhibit SPATA2 expression. The inflammatory responses and outcomes of Spata2 knockdown were investigated. SPATA2 was co-localized with CYLD in neurons. SPATA2 expression was reduced in tMCAO/R rats. Spata2 knockdown resulted in increased microglia, increased expression of Tnfa, Il-1β, and Il-18, decreased Garcia score, and increased infarct volume. Spata2 knockdown resulted in the activation of P38MAPK and NLRP3 inflammasome and the increased activation of NF-κB signaling. These results suggest that SPATA2 plays a protective role against brain inflammation induced by ischemia/reperfusion injury. Therefore, SPATA2 could be a potential therapeutic target for treating ischemic stroke.
