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

Ether-glycerophospholipids (ether-GPs), the ether bond- (- O -) containing glycerophospholipids, are major components of the brain lipidome. Ether-GPs play a crucial role in regulating neuronal function, and their deficiency has been implicated in many neurodegenerative diseases. However, how they are affected after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is not known. Our data demonstrate a significant decrease in ether-GPs abundance in the mouse cortex following controlled cortical impact (CCI)-induced TBI. This is at least in part due to the impairment of peroxisomal ether-GP synthesis in the mouse brain after TBI. We detected dysregulation of peroxisomal ether-GPs synthesizing enzymes - glyceronephosphate-O-acyltransferase (GNPAT) and alkylglycerone phosphate synthase (AGPS) in the injured mouse brains. Our data demonstrate a significant decline in GNPAT level in the peroxisomal fraction and a marked accumulation of AGPS in the cytosol of mouse cortices after TBI. To restore the ether-GP level in the injured brain, we treated TBI mice with an ether-GP precursor, 1-O-octadecylglycerol (OAG), to bypass the peroxisomal ether-GPs synthesizing steps. OAG partially restored the levels of several ether-GPs, attenuated inflammatory cytokine expression, and improved their functional recovery after TBI. Taken together, our data demonstrate that the decline in ether-GPs abundance after TBI is at least in part due to the impairment in peroxisomal ether-GPs synthesis and that restoration of ether-GPs by OAG treatment can improve TBI outcomes.
