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

Recombinant human erythropoietin (rh-EPO) has been shown to stimulate neurogenesis and angiogenesis, both of which play crucial roles in the repair of brain injuries. Previously, we observed that rh-EPO treatment effectively reduced brain damage and enhanced angiogenesis in a neonatal rat model of periventricular white matter damage (PWMD). The objective of this research is to investigate the specific mechanism through which rh-EPO regulates angiogenesis following PWMD in premature neonates. We conducted experiments utilizing a neonatal PWMD model. Following rh-EPO treatment, the levels of erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) were found to be increased in the damaged brain of rats. Although the total amount of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), a downstream protein in the EPO signaling pathway, remained unchanged, there was clear upregulation of phosphorylated ERK1 (p-ERK1) levels. The increase in levels of p-ERK1 was inhibited by an ERK kinase inhibitor, while the total amount of ERK remained unchanged. Conversely, the levels of EPOR were not affected by the inhibitor. Notably, the introduction of rh-EPO led to a significant increase in the frequency of angiogenesis-related cells and the expression levels of angiogenic factors. However, these effects were nullified when the ERK pathway was blocked. These findings indicate that rh-EPO enhances angiogenic responses through the EPOR-ERK1 pathway in a neonatal PWMD model.
