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

purposeTo evaluate the TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway in postoperative delirium.

methodsElderly patients aged 65-80 years who received unilateral hip arthroplasty under subarachnoid anesthesia were included. Pre-anesthesia cerebrospinal fluid and perioperative blood samples were collected. After follow-up, patients were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of postoperative delirium (POD) after surgery. The potential differentially expressed proteins in the two groups were determined by proteomics assay and subsequent western blot validation. A POD model of aged mice was established, and the TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway was determined. MAIN

findingsThe IL-1β and TNF-α levels in pre-anesthesia cerebrospinal fluid and postoperative blood were higher in patients who developed POD than in those patients who did not. Compared with non-POD patients, MAGI-2 was highly expressed in POD patients, as validated by proteomics assays and western blotting. Higher p-NF-κB-p65, TLR4 and MAGI-2 in POD patients were detected by western blot. The POD model in aged mice was successfully established and verified by three behavioral tests. Postoperative inflammatory cytokines and the TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway were increased in mice with POD. Inhibiting TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway could reduce postoperative delirium.

conclusionsThe TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway mediates POD.
