Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation Regulates MCT1-PPA-PTEN-LONP1 Signaling to Confer Neuroprotection After Rat Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.
Article in Molecular neurobiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Propionic acid (PPA) is a critical metabolite involved in microbial fermentation, which functions to reduce fat production, inhibit inflammation, and reduce serum cholesterol levels. The role of PPA in the context of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury has yet to be clarified. Increasing evidence indicate that transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) is a safe approach that confers neuroprotection in cerebral ischemia injury. Here, we show that the levels of PPA were reduced in the ischemic brain following a rat cerebral I/R injury and in the cultured rat cortical neurons after oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), an in vitro model of ischemic injury. We found that the decreased levels of transporter protein monocarboxylate transporter-1 (MCT1) were responsible for the OGD-induced reduction of PPA. Supplementing PPA reduced ischemia-induced neuronal death after I/R. Moreover, our results revealed that the neuroprotective effect of PPA is mediated through downregulation of phosphatase PTEN and subsequent upregulation of Lon protease 1 (LONP1). We demonstrated that direct-current stimulation (DCS) increased MCT1 expression and PPA level in OGD-insulted neurons, while tDCS decreased the brain infarct volume in the MCAO rats via increasing the levels of MCT1 expression and PPA. This study supports a potential application of tDCS in ischemic stroke.
