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

Stroke causes death of brain tissue leading to long-term deficits. Behavioral evidence from neurorehabilitative therapies suggest learning-induced neuroplasticity can lead to beneficial outcomes. However, molecular and cellular mechanisms that link learning and stroke recovery are unknown. We show that in a mouse model of stroke, which exhibits enhanced recovery of function due to genetic perturbations of learning and memory genes, animals display activity-dependent transcriptional programs that are normally active during formation or storage of new memories. The expression of neuronal activity-dependent genes are predictive of recovery and occupy a molecular latent space unique to motor recovery. With motor recovery, networks of activity-dependent genes are co-expressed with their transcription factor targets forming gene regulatory networks that support activity-dependent transcription, that are normally diminished after stroke. Neuronal activity-dependent changes at the circuit level are influenced by interactions with microglia. At the molecular level, we show that enrichment of activity-dependent programs in neurons lead to transcriptional changes in microglia where they differentially interact to support intercellular signaling pathways for axon guidance, growth and synaptogenesis. Together, these studies identify activity-dependent transcriptional programs as a fundamental mechanism for neural repair post-stroke.
