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

backgroundIron accumulation and lipid peroxidation are pathophysiologic mechanisms that contribute to neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury. Characterization of spatiotemporal changes in these processes will help elucidate their role in ischemic neuronal injury as an initial step towards developing targeted interventions.

methodsHI was induced in post-natal day 9 mice using the modified-Vannucci model. Hippocampal tissue from ipsilateral HI exposed, contralateral hypoxia exposed and sham animals was collected at 6 h, 24 h, 72 h, 7d and 90d post-HI. Tissue was evaluated for cell death (TUNEL labeling), intracellular iron changes (flow cytometry, fluorescent mRNA/protein staining), and lipid peroxidation (mass spectrometry). Mass spectrometry measured isoprostanes (15-F

resultsCompared to sham, the HI hippocampus showed increased intracellular labile iron levels that was maximal at 6 h post-HI with subsequent elevation in neuroprostanes and TUNEL labeling at 24 h post-HI. High throughput in situ mRNA labeling at 24 h post-HI showed changes in injured cells indicative of elevated labile iron and lipid peroxidation. At 72 h post-HI, labile iron levels, TUNEL labeling and lipid peroxidation declined corresponding with peak infiltration of ferritin positive microglia/macrophages and increased expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4) within surviving neurons.

conclusionsThese results characterize the relationship between intracellular labile iron, lipid peroxidation and cell death in neonatal HI. Injured cells display gene expression changes indicative of increased labile iron toxicity and lipid peroxidation. Microglial/macrophage iron sequestration and neuronal antioxidant responses may ameliorate further injury and represent targets for neuroprotective therapies.
