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

Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury leads to neuronal damage, which may cause disability and even mortality. Multiple studies have revealed that long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of cerebral I/R injury. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate whether the lncRNA X inactivate‑specific transcript (XIST) protects neuronal cells from cerebral I/R injury. In the present study, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR demonstrated that XIST expression was upregulated in the brain tissues of an I/R mouse model and in oxygen and glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R)‑treated Neuro‑2a (N2a) cells. Knockdown of XIST alleviated cerebral injury, as well as reduced N2a cell apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Additionally, luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays identified that XIST could bind with microRNA (miR)‑27a‑3p. It was found that miR‑27a‑3p expression was downregulated in the brain tissues of an I/R mouse model and in OGD/R‑induced N2a cells. In addition, miR‑27a‑3p overexpression attenuated I/R‑induced cerebral injury, and inhibited the apoptosis and ROS production of N2a cells. miR‑27a‑3p was found to target FOXO3. Silencing of FOXO3 alleviated cerebral injury, as well as inhibited N2a cell apoptosis and ROS production. Collectively, these findings indicated that XIST aggravated cerebral I/R injury by regulating miR‑27a‑3p/FOXO3 signaling, which may provide a novel insight into the treatment of cerebral I/R injury.
