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

Individuals with diabetes are exposed to a higher risk of perioperative stroke than non-diabetics mainly due to persistent hyperglycemia. LncRNA Meg3 has been considered as an important mediator in regulating ischemic stroke. However, the functional and regulatory roles of Meg3 in diabetic brain ischemic injury remain unclear. In this study, rat brain microvascular endothelial cells (RBMVECs) were exposed to 6 h of oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD), and subsequent reperfusion via incubating cells with glucose of various high concentrations for 24 h to imitate in vitro diabetic brain ischemic injury. It was shown that the marker events of ferroptosis and increased Meg3 expression occurred after the injury induced by OGD combined with hyperglycemia. However, all ferroptotic events were reversed with the treatment of Meg3-siRNA. Moreover, in this in vitro model, p53 was also characterized as a downstream target of Meg3. Furthermore, p53 knockdown protected RBMVECs against OGD + hyperglycemic reperfusion-induced ferroptosis, while the overexpression of p53 exerted opposite effects, implying that p53 served as a positive regulator of ferroptosis. Additionally, the overexpression or knockdown of p53 significantly modulated GPX4 expression in RBMVECs exposed to the injury induced by OGD combined with hyperglycemic treatment. Furthermore, GPX4 expression was suppressed again after the reintroduction of p53 into cells silenced by Meg3. Finally, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay uncovered that p53 was bound to GPX4 promoter. Altogether, these data revealed that, by modulating GPX4 transcription and expression, the Meg3-p53 signaling pathway mediated the ferroptosis of RBMVECs upon injury induced by OGD combined with hyperglycemic reperfusion.
