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

background and targetFollowing brain trauma, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and inflammatory response are critical pathological steps contributing to secondary injury, leading to high mortality and morbidity. Both pathologies are closely associated with endothelial remodeling. In the present study, we concentrated on annexin A1 (ANXA1) as a novel regulator of endothelial function after traumatic brain injury.

methodsAfter establishing controlled cortical impact (CCI) model in male mice, human recombinant ANXA1 (rANXA1) was administered intravenously, followed by assessments of BBB integrity, brain edema, inflammatory response, and neurological deficits.

resultAnimals treated with rANXA1 (1 μg/kg) at 1 h after CCI exhibited optimal BBB protection including alleviated BBB disruption and brain edema, as well as endothelial junction proteins loss. The infiltrated neutrophils and inflammatory cytokines were suppressed by rANXA1, consistent with decreased adhesive and transmigrating molecules from isolated microvessels. Moreover, rANXA1 attenuated the neurological deficits induced by CCI. We further found that the Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA) inhibition has similar effect as rANXA1 in ameliorating brain injuries after CCI, whereas rANXA1 suppressed CCI-induced RhoA activation.

conclusionOur findings suggest that the endothelial remodeling by exogenous rANXA1 corrects BBB disruption and inflammatory response through RhoA inhibition, hence improving functional outcomes in CCI mice.
