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

Maintaining the integrity of the blood-spinal cord barrier is critical for the recovery of spinal cord injury. Ferroptosis contributes to the pathogenesis of spinal cord injury. We hypothesized that ferroptosis is involved in disruption of the blood-spinal cord barrier. In this study, we administered the ferroptosis inhibitor liproxstatin-1 intraperitoneally after contusive spinal cord injury in rats. Liproxstatin-1 improved locomotor recovery and somatosensory evoked potential electrophysiological performance after spinal cord injury. Liproxstatin-1 maintained blood-spinal cord barrier integrity by upregulation of the expression of tight junction protein. Liproxstatin-1 inhibited ferroptosis of endothelial cell after spinal cord injury, as shown by the immunofluorescence of an endothelial cell marker (rat endothelium cell antigen-1, RECA-1) and ferroptosis markers Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 and 15-lipoxygenase. Liproxstatin-1 reduced brain endothelial cell ferroptosis in vitro by upregulating glutathione peroxidase 4 and downregulating Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 and 15-lipoxygenase. Furthermore, inflammatory cell recruitment and astrogliosis were mitigated after liproxstatin-1 treatment. In summary, liproxstatin-1 improved spinal cord injury recovery by inhibiting ferroptosis in endothelial cells and maintaining blood-spinal cord barrier integrity.
