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

backgroundPost-stroke depression represents a prevalent neuropsychiatric complication following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), yet its underlying mechanisms remain less understood compared to ischemic stroke.

methodsThis translational investigation employed a multi-omics approach, combining bioinformatics analysis of depression-related (GSE214921) and ICH-related (GSE18193) datasets from the GEO database with experimental validation. Using a collagenase-induced striatal ICH murine model, we evaluated the effects of intranasal administration of osteopontin (OPN, encoded by SPP1) through neurobehavioral tests, histopathological evaluation, and molecular biology techniques.

resultsIntegrated bioinformatics analysis identified the SPP1 signaling pathway as a potential key regulator in post-ICH depression pathogenesis. In vivo, OPN treatment produced sustained neurobehavioral improvements at 28 days post-ICH, significantly ameliorating neurological deficits, mitigating anxiety-depressive behaviors, and enhancing spatial learning-memory performance. Histopathological evaluation revealed OPN's multifaceted neuroprotective effects, including attenuated hippocampal neuroinflammation, preserved Nissl body integrity, and restored dendritic arborization complexity. Mechanistically, OPN exerted its therapeutic effects through activation of the Nrf2/BDNF signaling axis, as pharmacological inhibition of Nrf2 with ML385 completely abrogated both neuroprotection and BDNF upregulation.

conclusionOur study is the first to demonstrate the critical role of SPP1 signaling in post-ICH depression through modulation of the Nrf2/BDNF pathway, providing novel therapeutic targets for clinical management of this debilitating neuropsychiatric sequela.
