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

As is well known, dexmedetomidine (DEX) serves a neuroprotective role in cerebral ischemia‑reperfusion (CIR) injury, and microRNA (miR)‑199a has been re‑ported to be associated with IR injury. However, the association between DEX and miR‑199a in CIR injury remains unknown. Thus, the aim of the present study was to verify whether the neuroprotective effect of DEX on cerebral ischemia‑reperfusion rats is associated with miR‑199a. A rat model of CIR was established, and the modified neurological severity score (mNSS) was evaluated. The effect of DEX on the patholog‑ical structure of the cerebral cortex in CIR rats was observed by hematoxylin and eosin and Nissl staining. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR was used to analyze the expression levels of miR‑199a in brain tissue following intracerebroventricular injection of miR‑199a antagomir. The co‑expression of NeuN and microtubule‑associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3B in the cerebral cortex was analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were performed to analyze the expression of autophagy‑associated proteins in the brain tissue. DEX inhibited the expression of miR‑199a, decreased the mNSS and improved pathological damage to the cerebral cortex. DEX also inhibited autophagy and expression levels of associated proteins and decreased nerve cell injury. In conclusion, DEX inhibited expression of miR‑199a and improved neurocyte injury induced by CIR.
