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

Blood brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction developed with aging is related to brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) injury and losses of tight junctions (TJs). In the present study, we found that Alisol A 24-acetate (AA), a natural compound frequently used as treatment against vascular diseases was essential for BMECs injury and TJs degradation. Our experimental results showed that AA enhanced cell viability and increased zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), claudin-5, and occludin expression in the oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced BMECs. The exploration of the underlying mechanism revealed that AA restrained miR-92a-3p, a noncoding RNA involved in endothelial cells senescence and TJs impairment. To test the role of the miR-92a-3p in BMECs, the cells were transfected with miR-92a-3p mimics and inhibitor. The results showed that miR-92a-3p mimics inhibited cell viability and elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels as well as suppressed ZO-1, claudin-5 and occludin expression, while the miR-92a-3p inhibitor reversed the above results. These findings were similar to the therapeutic effects of AA in the OGD-induced BMECs. Bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase assay confirmed ZO-1 and occludin were the target genes of miR-92a-3p mediated AA protective roles. In summary, the data demonstrated that AA protected against BMECs damage and TJs loss through the inhibition of miR-92a-3p expression. This provided evidence for AA application in aging-associated BBB protection.
