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

Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) is a significant factor that accelerates cognitive deterioration, yet the mechanisms of hippocampal microglial activation in this context remain unclear. Using an integrative multiomics approach, we investigated the transcriptional and epigenomic landscape of microglial activation in a mouse model of CCH induced by bilateral common carotid artery stenosis. Behavioral assessments revealed cognitive impairments, while neuropathological analysis confirmed hippocampal damage. Proteomic and transcriptomic profiling uncovered significant upregulation of stress and inflammatory pathways, particularly the interferon (IFN) signaling cascade. Epigenomic analysis identified regions of open chromatin, suggesting active transcriptional regulation driven by the transcription factor (TF) PU.1. ChIP-nexus analysis further confirmed that PU.1 directly modulates the expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), which are pivotal in regulating microglial activation. Our findings demonstrate that PU.1 serves as a key regulator of the IFN-driven microglial response during CCH, mediated by enhanced chromatin accessibility and transcriptional activation of ISGs. This study highlights the critical role of PU.1 in microglial-mediated neuroinflammation and offers potential therapeutic targets for mitigating hippocampal damage associated with chronic cerebral ischemia.
