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

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a severe type of stroke featuring exceptionally high rate of morbidity and mortality due to the lack of effective management. Ferroptosis can be defined as a novel iron-dependent programmed cell death in contrast to classical apoptosis and necrosis. Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) is an active ingredient extracted from Astragalus membranaceus with established therapeutic effect on CNS diseases. However, the exact role of ferroptosis in Astragaloside IV-mediated neuroprotection after SAH is yet to be demonstrated. In the present study, the SAH model of SD male rats with endovascular perforation was used to gauge the neuroprotective effect of AS-IV on SAH-induced early brain injury (EBI) and to clarify the potential molecular mechanism. We found that the induction of SAH reduced the levels of SLC7A11 and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) in the brain, exacerbated iron accumulation, enhanced lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, and stimulated neuronal ferroptosis. However, the administration of AS-IV and the ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) enhanced the antioxidant capacity after SAH and suppressed the accumulation of lipid peroxides. Meanwhile, AS-IV triggered Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and alleviated ferroptosis due to the induction of SAH. The Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 blocked the beneficial effects of neuroprotection. These results consistently suggest that ferroptosis is profoundly implicated in facilitating EBI in SAH, and that AS-IV thwarts the process of ferroptosis in SAH by activating Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.
