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

Propofol (PPF) is reported to play a protective role in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, including cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI). This study aims to investigate the mechanism by which PPF ameliorates CIRI. Kunming mice were used to establish the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)/reperfusion mouse model in vivo. PPF pre-treatment was performed before CIRI. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels were detected to evaluate the tissue injury. PC12 cells were exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) to construct the in vitro CIRI model, and PC12 cells were pre-treated with PPF before H/R. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was employed to detect the expression of lncRNA MALAT1 and miR-182-5p. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of PC12 cells. Bioinformatics analysis, qRT-PCR, dual-luciferase reporter gene experiments, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) experiments were performed to predict and validate the targeting relationship between MALAT1 and miR-182-5p. Western blot was used to detect Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression at protein level. PPF pre-treatment remarkably inhibited LDH and CPK levels in the serum of the mice with CIRI, and reduced the apoptosis of PC12 cells exposed to H/R. Besides, PPF pre-treatment markedly suppressed MALAT1 expression in both in vivo and in vitro models and upregulated miR-182-5p expression. MiR-182-5p was validated to be a downstream target gene of MALAT1, and MALAT1 could increase the expression of TLR4 by suppressing miR-182-5p. The effects of PPF on the injury of the mice brain and PC12 cells were partly counteracted by the restoration of MALAT1. PPF protects the brain against I/R-induced injury by regulating MALAT1/miR-182-5p/TLR4 axis.
