Inhibition of Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Activity Improves Cognitive Function in Mice Subjected to Myocardial Infarction.
Article in Cardiovascular toxicology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Cognitive impairment is a commonly observed complication following myocardial infarction; however, the underlying mechanisms are still not well understood. The most recent research suggests that extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) plays a critical role in the development and occurrence of cognitive dysfunction-related diseases. This study aims to explore whether the ERK inhibitor U0126 targets the ERK/Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 1 (STAT1) pathway to ameliorate cognitive impairment after myocardial infarction. To establish a mouse model of myocardial infarction, we utilized various techniques including Echocardiography, Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, Elisa, Open field test, Elevated plus maze test, and Western blot analysis to assess mouse cardiac function, cognitive function, and signal transduction pathways. For further investigation into the mechanisms of cognitive function and signal transduction, we administered the ERK inhibitor U0126 via intraperitoneal injection. Reduced total distance and activity range were observed in mice subjected to myocardial infarction during the open field test, along with decreased exploration of the open arms in the elevated plus maze test. However, U0126 treatment exhibited a significant improvement in cognitive decline, indicating a protective effect through the inhibition of the ERK/STAT1 signaling pathway. Hence, this study highlights the involvement of the ERK/STAT1 pathway in regulating cognitive dysfunction following myocardial infarction and establishes U0126 as a promising therapeutic target.
