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

introductionMitochondria are cellular energy factories, but their function declines with age in many tissues as well as disease pathophysiology. Mitochondrial proteins have sugar modifications called glycans, which regulate their function and localization. There is a knowledge gap on the impact of mitochondrial protein glycosylation on mitochondrial function and mediating neuroinflammation. We hypothesize that stimuli-specific neuroinflammatory treatments in microglia induce pathological changes in mitochondrial protein glycosylation and compromise mitochondrial function.

methodsThe aim of this study was to establish a detailed microglial mitochondrial glycoprofile in different models of inflammation using lectins to identify the glycan-based markers of mitochondrial dysfunction. We use three different pathways of microglial activation: lipopolysaccharide, cytokines, and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), revealing differences in mitochondrial glycosylation in different models of inflamed microglia. Mitochondrial lectin blots and lectin flow analysis were used to quantify the glycosylation changes due to different neuroinflammatory conditions. Seahorse Mito Stress assay was performed to assess mitochondrial function in each of these conditions.

resultsLectin immunoblots of mitochondrial proteins and lectin flow studies with intact mitochondria were performed in three different neuroinflammation models using BV-2 microglial cells, revealing considerable stimuli-specific, differential mitochondrial glycosylation between these models and healthy controls. It was found that several glycans associated with mitochondria were differentially regulated during microglial activation. The observed changes in glycosylation trends were more drastic in OGD treatment as compared to other treatments, especially for complex and sialylated glycans.

conclusionThis study represents the first functional investigation of mitochondrial glycosylation in microglial inflammation models towards identifying glycosylation-based therapeutic targets.
