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

This study is performed to explore the role of P2X4 in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and the association between P2X4 and the NLRP1/Caspase-1 pathway. The mouse ICH model was established via collagenase injection into the right basal ganglia. P2X4 expression in brain tissues was knocked down via intracerebroventricular injection with adeno-associated virus (AAV) harboring shRNA against shP2X4. The gene expression of P2X4 and protein levels related to NLRP1 inflammasome were detected using qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis, respectively. Muramyl dipeptide (an activator of NLRP1) was used to activate NLRP1 in brain tissues. ICH induced high expression of P2X4 in mouse brain tissues. The knockdown of P2X4 alleviated short- and long-term neurological deficits of ICH mice, as well as inhibited the tissue expression and serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β. Additionally, the expressions of NLRP1, ASC, and pro-Caspase-1 were down-regulated upon P2X4 silencing. Moreover, neurological impairment and the expression and secretion of cytokines after P2X4 silencing were aggravated by the additional administration of MDP. P2X4 knockdown represses neuroinflammation in brain tissues after ICH. Mechanistically, P2X4 inhibition exerts a neuroprotective effect in ICH by blocking the NLRP1/Caspase-1 pathway.
