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

Neuronal loss in the ipsilateral thalamus after focal cortical infarction participates in post-stroke cognitive deficits, and enhanced angiogenesis in the thalamus is expected to reduce neuronal damage. We hypothesize that novel translocator protein (TSPO) ligand, 2-Cl-MGV-1, can promote angiogenesis, attenuate neuronal loss in the thalamus, and ameliorate post-stroke cognitive deficits. Cortical infarction was induced by distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCAO) in stroke-prone renovascular hypertensive rats. 2-Cl-MGV-1 or dimethyl sulfoxide was administered 24 h after dMCAO and then for 6 or 13 days. Spatial learning and memory were assessed using the Morris water maze. Neuronal loss, TSPO expression, angiogenesis, and intrinsic pathway were determined by immunofluorescence and immunoblotting 7 and 14 days after dMCAO. Cortical infarction caused post-stroke cognitive deficits and secondary neuronal loss with gliosis in the ipsilateral thalamus within 14 days of dMCAO. Increased angiogenesis and elevated expression of vascular TSPO were detected in the ipsilateral thalamus, and treatment with 2-Cl-MGV-1 enhanced angiogenesis by stimulating the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway. The effects of 2-Cl-MGV-1 on angiogenesis coincided with reduced neuronal loss in the thalamus and contributed to improvements in post-stroke cognitive deficits. Our findings suggest that 2-Cl-MGV-1 stimulates angiogenesis, ameliorates neuronal loss in the thalamus, and improves post-stroke cognitive deficits.
