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

Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) refers to cognitive alterations caused by vascular disease, which is associated with various types of dementia. Because chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) induces VCI, we used bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS) mice as a CCH-induced VCI model. Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), the most redox-sensitive TRP channel, is functionally expressed in the brain. Here, we investigated the pathophysiological role of TRPA1 in CCH-induced VCI. During early-stage CCH, cognitive impairment and white matter injury were induced by BCAS in TRPA1-knockout but not wild-type mice. TRPA1 stimulation with cinnamaldehyde ameliorated BCAS-induced outcomes. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that BCAS increased leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) in astrocytes. Moreover, hydrogen peroxide-treated TRPA1-stimulated primary astrocyte cultures expressed LIF, and culture medium derived from these cells promoted oligodendrocyte precursor cell myelination. Overall, TRPA1 in astrocytes prevents CCH-induced VCI through LIF production. Therefore, TRPA1 stimulation may be a promising therapeutic approach for VCI.
