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

Cerebral ischemic stroke represents a primary cause of permanent disability and mortality globally. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has emerged as a prominent focus in treating a wide range of neurological disorders. In this study, we explore the role of rTMS in alleviating cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by mediating Golgi apparatus (GA) stress. Here, we find that rTMS upregulates Dram1 expression and ameliorates GA stress in cerebral I/R injury in vivo and in vitro. Gli2 transcriptionally activates Dram1. HDAC5 inhibits H3K27ac modification of Gli2 promoter. rTMS promotes Gli2 expression by inhibiting HDAC5. Gli2 knockdown reverses the inhibitory effect of rTMS on OGD/R-induced neuronal GA stress. In conclusion, rTMS inhibits HDAC5-mediated deacetylation of Gli2 promoter to promote the transcriptional activation of Dram1, thereby suppressing cerebral I/R-induced GA stress. Targeting Gli2/ Dram1 axis may be an effective way to enhance the anti-ischemic stroke effect of rTMS.
