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

backgroundSubarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a life -threatening cerebrovascular disease, where early brain injury (EBI) stands as a primary contributor to mortality and unfavorable patient outcomes. Neuronal ferroptosis emerges as a key pathological mechanism underlying EBI in SAH. Targeting ferroptosis for therapeutic intervention in SAH holds significant promise as a treatment strategy.

methodsSAH model was induced via intravascular puncture and quantitatively assessed the presence of neuronal ferroptosis in the early phase of SAH using FJC staining, Prussian blue staining, as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) measurements. Hyaluronic acid-coated ursolic acid nanoparticles (HA-PEG-UA NPs) were prepared using the solvent evaporation method. We investigated the in vivo distribution of HA-PEG-UA NPs in SAH model through IVIS and fluorescence observation, and examined their impact on short-term neurological function and cortical neurological injury. Finally, we assessed the effect of UA on the Nrf-2/SLC7A11/GPX4 axis via Western Blot analysis.

resultsWe successfully developed self-assembled UA NPs with hyaluronic acid to target the increased CD44 expression in the SAH-afflicted brain. The resulting HA-PEG-UA NPs facilitated delivery and enrichment of UA within the SAH-affected region. The targeted delivery of UA to the SAH region can effectively inhibit neuronal ferroptosis, improve neurological deficits, and prognosis in mice. Its mechanism of action is associated with the activation of the Nrf-2/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway.

conclusionsBrain-targeted HA-PEG-UA NPs was successfully developed and hold the potential to enhance SAH prognosis by limiting neuronal ferroptosis via modulation of the Nrf-2/SLC7A11/GPX4 signal.
