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

Ischemia-hypoxia-induced inflammation and glycolysis are linked to the severity of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI), but the mechanisms are unclear. Current research suggests that the inflammatory response of immune cells activated by STING is a key regulatory molecule in cellular inflammatory damage. However, the specific mechanisms underlying STING-mediated CIRI inflammatory responses remain unclear. This study found that STING expression was specifically elevated in microglia in the damaged side of the hippocampus in CIRI model mice, and this elevation was positively correlated with the severity of CIRI. Our previous research indicated that the dynamic process of mitochondrial fusion and fission is closely associated with CIRI. Building on this, we integrated glycolysis, mitochondrial fission, and the STING inflammatory pathway. Mechanistically, our data suggest that DRP1 K616 is a critical candidate site involved in DRP1 lactylation-associated regulation, which promotes STING pathway activation and contributes to the progression of CIRI. In conclusion, our findings offer substantial evidence that lactate-driven DRP1-mediated mitochondrial fission facilitates the involvement of the STING inflammatory pathway in CIRI. These results suggest that modulating lactate metabolism may serve as a crucial upstream strategy for therapeutic intervention in CIRI.
