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

backgroundMicroglia is the major contributor of post-stroke neuroinflammation cascade and the crucial cellular target for the treatment of ischemic stroke. Currently, the endogenous mechanism underlying microglial activation following ischemic stroke remains elusive. Serglycin (SRGN) is a proteoglycan expressed in immune cells. Up to now, the role of SRGN on microglial activation and ischemic stroke is largely unexplored.

methodsSrgn knockout (KO), Cd44-KO and wild-type (WT) mice were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) to mimic ischemic stroke. Exogenous SRGN supplementation was achieved by stereotactic injection of recombinant mouse SRGN (rSRGN). Cerebral infarction was measured by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. Neurological functions were evaluated by the modified neurological severity score (mNSS) and grip strength. Microglial activation was detected by Iba1 immunostaining, morphological analysis and cytokines' production. Neuronal death was examined by MAP2 immunostaining and FJB staining.

resultsThe expression of SRGN and its receptor CD44 was significantly elevated in the ischemic mouse brains, especially in microglia. In addition, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced SRGN upregulation in microglia in vitro. rSRGN worsened ischemic brain injury in mice and amplified post-stroke neuroinflammation, while gene knockout of Srgn exerted reverse impacts. rSRGN promoted microglial proinflammatory activation both in vivo and in vitro, whereas Srgn-deficiency alleviated microglia-mediated inflammatory response. Moreover, the genetic deletion of Cd44 partially rescued rSRGN-induced excessed neuroinflammation and ischemic brain injury in mice. Mechanistically, SRGN boosted the activation of NF-κB signal, and increased glycolysis in microglia.

conclusionSRGN acts as a novel therapeutic target in microglia-boosted proinflammatory response following ischemic stroke.
