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

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with significant neurological complications, yet the mechanisms underlying brain injury remain unclear. This study investigated the role of interleukin-17A (IL-17A) in exacerbating CPB-induced neuronal apoptosis and identified vulnerable brain regions. Utilizing a rat CPB model and an oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) cellular model, we demonstrated that IL-17A levels were markedly elevated in the hippocampus post-CPB, correlating with endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-mediated apoptosis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed the enrichment of IL-17 signaling and apoptosis-related pathways. IL-17A-Neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb) and the ERS inhibitor 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) significantly attenuated neurological deficits and hippocampal neuronal damage. Mechanistically, IL-17A activated the Act1-IRE1-JNK1 axis, wherein heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) competitively regulated Act1-IRE1 interactions. Co-immunoprecipitation confirmed the enhanced Hsp90-Act1 binding post-CPB, promoting IRE1 phosphorylation and downstream caspase-12 activation. In vitro, IL-17A exacerbated OGD/R-induced apoptosis via IRE1-JNK1 signaling, reversible by IRE1 inhibition. These findings identify the hippocampus as a key vulnerable region and delineate a novel IL-17A/Act1-IRE1-JNK1 pathway driving ERS-dependent apoptosis. Targeting IL-17A or Hsp90-mediated chaperone switching represents a promising therapeutic strategy for CPB-associated neuroprotection. This study provides critical insights into the molecular crosstalk between systemic inflammation and neuronal stress responses during cardiac surgery.
