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

Preterm white matter injury (PWMI) causes lasting neurological deficits by blocking oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) differentiation. Perinatal hypoxia suppresses mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), essential for OPC maturation. We identify Lipin1 nuclear translocation as a key downstream event of mTORC1 suppression. In PWMI mice, Lipin1 was enriched in OPC nuclei, while primary OPCs and OLN-93 cells showed that mTORC1 inhibition induces Lipin1 dephosphorylation, nuclear accumulation, and impaired differentiation. Mechanistically, nuclear Lipin1 recruits histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) to sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1) target promoters, repressing sphingolipid biosynthesis required for myelination. Lipin1 or HDAC2 knockdown restored SREBP1 targets and OPC differentiation under rapamycin. In vivo, Lipin1 knockdown or HDAC2 inhibition enhanced myelin gene expression, promoted oligodendrocyte maturation, improved myelin ultrastructure, and alleviated motor deficits. Thus, a Lipin1-HDAC2 epigenetic axis mediates hypoxia-induced myelin gene repression, offering targets for white matter repair in preterm infants.
