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

introductionCerebral ischemia is a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. However, an effective therapeutic approach for the condition remains undiscovered. The previously proposed growth factor-based therapy has been inefficient due to its inability to pass through the blood-brain barrier. B355252, a newly developed small molecule, exhibited a potential neuroprotective effect in vivo. However, its exact efficacy in cerebral ischemia remains unclear.

methodsWe adopt an endothelin-1 stereotaxic intracranial injection to induced cerebral ischemia in rat. We further conducted 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, immunofluorescent staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and behavioral tests to evaluate the efficacy of B355252 in neuroprotection, anti-inflammation, and behavioral outcome improvements.

resultsWe identified that B355252 could protect ischemic neurons from neuronal loss by attenuating DNA damage, reducing ROS production and the LDH level, and preventing neuronal apoptosis. Moreover, inflammatory responses in astrocytic and microglial gliosis, as well as IL-1β and TNF-α levels, were ameliorated. Consequently, the behavioral outcomes of ischemic rats in neurologic responses and fore paw function recovery were improved. DISCUSSION: Overall, our study verified the in vivo therapeutic potential of B355252. The study findings further support its application in the development of a therapeutic approach for stroke.
