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

TIM-4 plays an important role in ischaemia-reperfusion injury of liver and kidney; however, the effects of TIM-4 on cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) are unknown. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the potential role of TIM-4 in experimental brain ischaemia-reperfusion injury. In this study, cerebral ischaemia reperfusion was induced by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 1 hour in C57/BL6 mice. The TIM-4 expression was detected in vivo or vitro by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Western blot and flow cytometric analysis. In vivo, the administration of anti-TIM-4 antibodies significantly suppressed apoptosis, inhibited inflammatory cells and enhanced anti-inflammatory responses. In vitro, activated microglia exhibited reduced cellular proliferation and induced IRI injury when co-cultured with neurons; these effects were inhibited by anti-TIM-4 antibody treatment. Similarly, microglia transfected with TIM-4 siRNA and stimulated by LPS + IFN-γ alleviated the TIM-4-mediated damage to neurons. Collectively, our data indicate that the inhibition of TIM-4 can improve the inflammatory response and exerts a protective effect in cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion injury.
