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

The study investigated the mechanism of ALDH2 in mitochondrial dysfunction and blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage arising from chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH). A rat model of bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO) was established and treated with AAV-ALDH2. ALDH2 expression, cognitive function, and levels of inflammation- and oxidative stress-related factors, were examined, followed by observing changes in BBB and mitochondrial functions. A rat neuron model of oxygen glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation (OGD/R) was constructed and treated with AAV-ALDH2 and the SIRT1 inhibitor Sirtinol. 4-HNE, SIRT1, ROS levels, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and ATP production were detected, followed by oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) assays. ALDH2 was down-regulated in BCCAO-modeled rats. In BCCAO-modeled rats, ALDH2 overexpression repressed learning/memory deficits and BBB leakage, elevated SOD and GSH levels, decreased the levels of inflammation-related factors, ROS, 4-HNE, and MDA, and improved mitochondrial morphology. In OGD/R-stimulated neurons, ALDH2 overexpression diminished ROS and 4-HNE levels and ECAR and increased MMP, OCR, and ATP production, which was abrogated by Sirtinol. Overall, ALDH2 up-regulation exerts suppressive effects on BBB damage and mitochondrial dysfunction in CCH via the SIRT1/ROS axis.
