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

An important factor influencing the prognosis of ischemic stroke is impairment of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Additionally, oxidative stress and inflammation contribute significantly to the breakdown of the BBB during ischemic stroke reperfusion. Strong evidence suggested that Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) may have protective properties and reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions in neurological conditions. Therefore, in order to examine the impact of ALDH2 on BBB integrity after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) damage, we constructed the cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) model and the oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) model. According to our findings, ALDH2 activation enhanced cell viability in bEnd.3 cells treated with OGD/R and reduced infarct area and neurological impairments in MCAO/R animals. Furthermore, both in vitro and in vivo, ALDH2 suppressed inflammation-related factors IL-1β and IL-18, as well as oxidative stress and the expression of the NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. In addition, bEnd.3 cells exhibited a reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation function of ALDH2. Moreover, we noticed that ALDH2 boosted the expression of the tight junctions (TJs) zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and Occludin to control BBB function. In summary, ALDH2 protected against cerebral I/R injury and BBB destruction, and this protection was related to the ROS/NLRP3 axis.
