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

Promoting the M2 phenotype polarization of microglia is of great significance in alleviating hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The umbilical artery blood sample was collected to evaluate the expression of cGAS, and the aberrant expressed cGAS was verified in the oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) microglia which was established to mimic HIE in vitro. Then the regulating role of cGAS on the transformation of microglia M2 phenotype polarization and glycolysis was investigated. Moreover, the lactylation of cGAS in OGD treated microglia was evaluated by western blot. cGAS was found to be highly expressed in umbilical artery blood of HIE group, and OGD treated microglia. OGD interference activated microglia into M1 phenotype by enhancing CD86 and suppressing CD206 levels; meanwhile, the microglia in OGD group highly expressed IL-1β, iNOS and TNF-α, and lowly expressed IL-4, IL-10, and Arg-1. Inhibition of cGAS promotes the transformation of microglia from M1 to M2 phenotype. Meanwhile, OGD increased ECAR and decreased OCR to regulate glycolysis, cGAS deficiency inhibits glycolysis in OGD treated microglia. Moreover, the pan lysine lactylation (Pan-Kla) levels and lactated cGAS levels in microglia were upregulated in the OGD group. Lactate reversed the effects of cGAS knockdown on microglia polarization and glycolysis. The present study reveals that the cGAS-mediated neuron injury is associated with high level of cGAS lactylation. Inhibition of cGAS promotes the M2 phenotype polarization of microglia and suppress glycolysis. Thereby, targeting cGAS provides a new strategy for the development of therapeutic agents against HIE.
