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

Repetitive traumatic brain injury (RTBI) refers to brain injuries resulting from an external mechanical force causing cumulative and frequently severe neurological consequences. This study aimed to explore the neuroprotective effect of alogliptin (ALO) on RTBI-provoked endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and investigate the potential underlying mechanisms. For RTBI induction, rats were exposed to a sharp-edged weight at the right interior frontal area of the right cortex, one drop per day for five successive days. ALO (20 mg/kg/day, p.o.) was administered for one week. Results depicted that ALO recovered motor abnormalities and enhanced motor coordination in the open field test, decreased immobility and increased climbing time in the forced swimming test, and corrected histological aberrations. Moreover, ALO counteracted RTBI-triggered ER stress via suppression of activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), aggregation of β-amyloid and Tau proteins, as well as elevation of the cortical content of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor, tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrKB). ALO also exhibited an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential in addition to its effect on the gene expression of miRNAs (miRNA-322 and miRNA-125b). In conclusion, ALO exhibited a neuroprotective effect by mitigating ER stress induced in an RTBI rat model.
