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

Activin A plays an essential role in ischemic stroke as a well-known neuroprotective factor. We previously reported that Activin A could promote white matter remyelination. However, the exact molecular mechanism of Activin A in neuronal protection post-stroke is still unclear. In this study, the middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R)-induced ischemic stroke mouse model and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-treated primary neurons were used to explore the molecular mechanism of Activin A-mediated neuroprotection against ischemic injuries. We found that Activin A significantly inhibits cGAS-STING-mediated excessive autophagy through the PI3K-PKB pathway, but not mTOR-dependent autophagy. Consequently, Activin A protected neurons against OGD/R-induced ischemic injury and improved cell survival in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, Activin A improved neurological functions and reduced infarct size of mice with MCAO/R-induced ischemic stroke by inhibiting autophagy. Furthermore, Activin A depended on ACVR1C receptor to exert neuroprotective effects in 1 h MCAO/R treated mice. Our findings showed that Activin A alleviated neuronal ischemic injury through inhibiting cGAS-STING-mediated excessive autophagy in mice with ischemic stroke, which may suggest a potential therapeutic target for ischemic stroke.
