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

aimsThis study investigated how Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) protects against sevoflurane-induced postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in aged rats by targeting N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10)-mediated mRNA acetylation and mitochondrial homeostasis.

methodsAged rats received sevoflurane exposure and AAV-mediated Sirt1/Nat10 manipulation. We assessed autophagy (WB, LC3/TOM20 colocalization), energy metabolism (ROS/ATP, JC-1), and Gababr1 expression (RT-qPCR, immunofluorescence). Cognitive function was evaluated using Y-maze, NORT, and MWM. scRNA-seq identified neuronal subpopulations, while RIP-qPCR/dot blot analyzed Nat10-Gababr1 mRNA interactions. Patch-clamp recordings measured IPSC_slow amplitudes.

resultsSevoflurane increased NAT10 expression and Gababr1 mRNA ac4C acetylation. Sirt1 overexpression deacetylated NAT10, restoring autophagy (↑LC3-II), reducing ROS, and improving cognition. scRNA-seq revealed SIRT1 enrichment in high-autophagy neurons. Nat10 knockdown decreased Gababr1 expression and cognitive deficits. Electrophysiology confirmed SIRT1-mediated reduction of Baclofen-induced IPSC_slow via NAT10 deacetylation.

conclusionSIRT1 alleviates POCD by deacetylating NAT10 to reduce Gababr1 mRNA acetylation, thereby normalizing synaptic inhibition and restoring metabolic-autophagic balance. The SIRT1-NAT10-GABABR1 axis represents a novel therapeutic target for anesthesia-related neurotoxicity.
