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

backgroundTherapy in the latent period is favorable for retarding the process of epileptogenesis. Recently, we have discovered that the activated sigma-1 receptor (Sig-1R) attenuates the hippocampus pathological injury and memory impairment in the latent period of epileptogenesis. But the molecular mechanism needs further investigation.

methodsPRE-084 was utilized as a research tool to highly selectively activate Sig-1R in epileptic mice. After the treatment of PRE-084, the pro-inflammatory cytokines, neuropathological traits, and the level of mitochondrial translocator assembly and maintenance 41 homolog (TAMM41) in the hippocampus were examined. The mode in which the Sig-1R interacts with TAMM41 was explored. The role of TAMM41 in the protecting effect of PRE-084 was established.

resultsPRE-084 inhibited the growth of pro-inflammatory cytokines, reduced the formation of gliosis, alleviated neuronal damage in the hippocampus, and attenuated memory impairment in the latent period of epileptogenesis. The protein level of TAMM41 decreased in the hippocampi of epileptic mice and increased in the PRE-084-treated mice. The Sig-1R bound with TAMM41 directly, maintaining the stability of TAMM41. Knockdown of TAMM41 reversed the protective effect of PRE-084, and overexpression of TAMM41 exhibited a similar protective action to that of PRE-084.

conclusionWe presented the concept of the "sigma-1 receptor-TAMM41 axis" and proposed that augmenting this axis can attenuate neuroinflammation and memory impairment in the process of epileptogenesis.
