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

Introduction: The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury (CIRI) is intricate, and current studies suggest that neuron, astrocyte, microglia, endothelial cell, and pericyte all have different phenotypic changes of specific cell types after ischemic stroke. And microglia account for the largest proportion after CIRI. Previous transcriptomic studies of ischemic stroke have typically focused on the 24 hours after CIRI, obscuring the dynamics of cellular subclusters throughout the disease process. Therefore, traditional methods for identifying cell types and their subclusters may not be sufficient to fully unveil the complexity of single-cell transcriptional profile dynamics caused by an ischemic stroke. Methods: In this study, to explore the dynamic transcriptional profile of single cells after CIRI, we used single-cell State Transition Across-samples of RNA-seq data (scSTAR), a new bioinformatics method, to analyze the single-cell transcriptional profile of day 1, 3, and 7 of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) mice. Combining our bulk RNA sequences and proteomics data, we found the importance of the integrin beta 2 (Itgb2) gene in post-modeling. And microglia of Itgb2+ and Itgb2- were clustered by the scSTAR method. Finally, the functions of the subpopulations were defined by Matescape, and three different time points after tMCAO were found to exhibit specific functions. Results: Our analysis revealed a dynamic transcriptional profile of single cells in microglia after tMCAO and explored the important role of Itgb2 contributed to microglia by combined transcriptomics and proteomics analysis after modeling. Our further analysis revealed that the Itgb2+ microglia subcluster was mainly involved in energy metabolism, cell cycle, angiogenesis, neuronal myelin formation, and repair at 1, 3, and 7 days after tMCAO, respectively. Discussion: Our results suggested that Itgb2+ microglia act as a time-specific multifunctional immunomodulatory subcluster during CIRI, and the underlying mechanisms remain to be further investigated.
