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

Aim: Previous studies have proved that inhibiting inflammasome activation provides neuroprotection against early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), which is mainly focused on the microglial inflammatory response, but the potential role of neuronal inflammasome activation in EBI has not been clearly identified. This study examined whether the pannexin-1 channel inhibitor probenecid could reduce EBI after SAH by inhibiting neuronal AIM2 inflammasome activation. Methods: There are Results: The pannexin-1 and AIM2 protein levels were upregulated after SAH. Pannexin-1 channel inhibitor probenecid attenuated brain edema and improved neurological dysfunction by reducing AIM2 inflammasome activation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation after SAH in rats. Treating HT22 cells with hemin for 12 h resulted in AIM2 and caspase-1 upregulation and increased mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal cell death. Probenecid significantly attenuated the hemin-induced AIM2 inflammasome activation and neuronal death. Conclusions: AIM2 inflammasome is activated in neurons after SAH. Pharmacological inhibition of the pannexin-1 channel by probenecid attenuated SAH-induced AIM2 inflammasome activation and EBI
